High density polyethylene, average, at plant {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.001
Included processes: average production of high density polyethylene from ethylene feedstock in Australia Remark: Data is for the production of 1t of HDPE, based on data provided by Qenos specific to its Plastics and Resins plants of Altona. Average production is based on total capacity of both plants. Data included represent 95% of total capacity in Australia. Geography: Refers to the production of Qenos' Altona plant Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2013/2014 Version 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Paul-Antoine Bontinck E-mail: paul@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU Generator: Generator/publicator: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU
