• Look at the network with a 0,1 % cut-off
• How much material goes in the system
• How much material goes of the system to the waste scenario?
• What are the processes that contribute with most of the impact
• Check the thicknesses of the arrows

EXERCISE 6:MODEL WITH PARAMETERS (APPLY TO PLASTIC BOTTLE)
Model with parameters
Insert a variable instead of constant data
When??• Preliminary data is available, inputs could change if better data is available• Different input values can be used to calculate more versions of the same life
cycle• Reduce the possibility of making calculation mistakes. Easy to check
• Insert calculation rules instead of constant data as input data.• Available for all processes and product stages• With or without uncertainty distribution
• Calculation rule:• Defined in SimaPro• Based on input parameter
53
www.ifu.ethz.ch/ESD
Exercise 6.1: Model bottling with parameters
• Electricity use for bottling• Uncertain value
• Combination of values
• Input parameters (apply to plastic bottle)• ‘pumping&cleaning’: 0.015kWh/l
• ‘filling ’: 0.005kWh/l
• Calculated parameter• bottling=‘pumping&cleaning + filling’
• Process input data• ‘bottling‘
54
www.ifu.ethz.ch/ESD
Exercise 6.2: Model transport with parameters
• Use Input parameters for distance and weight
• Use a calculated parameter for transport
• Replace transport within case study 1 by a calculation rule
55
www.ifu.ethz.ch/ESD
Switches: • Local: Distance <=50km
• Regional: 50km<distance and distance>150km
• Abroad: Distance=>150km
Exercise 6.3: Different distances-different transport
• Process sheet:
• Parameter tap: Make the necessary switch parameters
which are 1 when the distance is conform the scenario
• In the input for transport: add two lines for the transport with a van and transport with lorry 20-28t. Multiply inputs by the corresponding switches
56
www.ifu.ethz.ch/ESD
Scenario Distance Transport mode
1. Local Smaller or equal than 50km van < 3,5t/RER S
2. Regional Between 50 and 150km Lorry of 16t, fleet average/RER
3. Abroad Bigger or equal than 150km Lorry of 20-28t, fleet average/RER
Compare different versions of your model
• First parameters are defined at process/project or database level
• A Calculation setup can be used to define two or more scenarios
• Each scenario considers different values for the parameter
