The inventory of a Life Cycle Assessment of Copper production from primary and secondary sources, of Copper and Copper alloy fabrication to semifinished and selected final products is presented. It will be published in 3 parts. Part 1 consists of mining, mineral processing, primary and secondary Copper production. In part 2 follow fabrication processes for copper and copper alloys to semifinished material, inclusive production of wire and cable. Part 3 show casting to final shape, as well as alloy ingot production, PCDD/PCDF-emission values and summarized statements. Finally the application of the data is shown. Mass and energy inventories, emission data, coupled products, waste and Co 2 -emission will be shown for every single step. To get the whole picture, specific modules have to be added. For a few energy data this is shown in an appendix. Other values may calculated in a similar way. Ordered by Deutsched Kupfer-Institut and in cooperation with the Wirtschaftsvereinigung Metall e. V. as well as with various industrial companies
