General comment on data set Dataset developed within the ARCADIA project in the context of the Ph.D. of Federica Carollo (Politecnico di Milano). The dataset relates to the recycling of 1 kg of cables in Italy. The dataset is composed of 5-unit processes: 1) Treatment facility (it is a rough estimation of the infrastructure); 2) Transport the separated copper and plastic to the respective recycling plants. Hypothesis: 100 km away; 3) Sorting and recycling processes for the copper (Process: Copper, recycled); 4) Electricity consumed for treatment (considering the Italian energy mix); 5) Incineration of the residual plastic.

Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system The electric cables are shredded to optimise the subsequent mechanical separation of the copper from the rubber, and both fractions are then sent for recovery. On average, the cables are composed of 70% rubber and 30% copper. Good the Reliability; Very Good the Geographical representativeness; Very Good the Time representativeness; Very Good the Technological representativeness.
