* Indirect effect from the processes after this point shall be included in the
results of calculation, but such information shall be included in labeling in the
manner separated from the main information.
I.1.2 Basic concept of secondary data in indirect recycling of designated PET bottles
Calculation shall be made by referring to the published data below, and the results of calculation shall be approved
at the time of verification.
a) Calculation of the GHG emissions associated with transport from intermediate processing facility to recycling
facility “Transport B” shall be made by referring to “Quantitative Analysis of Recycling of Containers and
Packaging Waste (Nomura Research Institute, Ltd.; March 1995)” and other articles.
b) Calculation of the GHG emissions associated with “manufacturing of recycled flakes/pellets (material recycling)”
and “manufacturing of recycled PET resin (chemical recycling)” at recycling facility shall be made by referring to
“Report on Inventory Analysis of PET Bottles (Council for PET Bottle Recycling; August 2004)” and other
articles.
