For life cycle modeling the GaBi ts Software System for Life Cycle Assessment, developed by thinkstep AG, is used (/GaBi ts 2016/). All relevant background datasets are taken from the GaBi ts software database. To ensure comparability of results in the LCA, the basic data of GaBi database were used for energy, transportation and auxiliary materials. The datasets are complete and conform to the system boundaries and the criteria for the exclusion of inputs and outputs. Background data refer to the years 2012 till 2015 (/GaBi ts 2016/) with a country specific scope as far as available, e.g. for raw material extraction and production, transportation, fuels and energy supply. All relevant processes (foreground and background) have been considered when modelling stone wool production. The process data and the used background data are consistent. The data quality can be qualified as good.
