Procedure 66. Right click on the plan and select ‘New process.’ and when you are asked where to save it, just choose the Processes folder. 67. Name this process ‘Use Phase Steel Paper Clip´. This process will contain no elementary flows and represents only part of the system or a gate to gate process. 68. Select ‘unit process single operation’. Let´s assume that the usage of the paper clip does not contribute to any environmental impact, consume any power or release any emissions. 69. We can now enter the input flow ‘Steel Paper Clip.’ 70. Enter the amount ‘0.00035kg.’ Then we assume that after the use phase, which has no environmental impact, the paper clip will be thrown away. To model this you integrate a waste flow on the output side of your use phase process. 71. Type in the output line ‘Steel scrap’ and choose the flow ‘Steel scrap (St)’ from the object group ‘Waste for recovery.’ 72. Enter the amount ‘0.00035kg.’ 73. Save and close the process window. 74. On our life cycle plan connect the ‘Paper Clip Bending’ process with the ‘Use Phase Steel Paper Clip’ process. 54
3.27 Adding a plan Procedure We will now add an End of life scenario. We will create the End of life scenario on a separate plan. By doing this, you could put different waste treatment steps and variations and recycling processes on this plan and separate the steel flow fraction according to recycling rates. We are not quite ready for that level of modelling so, in our example, we just assume that our paper clip will be sorted out of the municipal waste with a magnetic separator and will then be recycled. To keep it simple, we will only take the steel recycling process into account. 75. Go back to the GaBi DB Manager, click on ‘Plans’ and then create a new plan by right clicking in the display window. 76. Name it ‘End of Life Paper Clip.’ For now we will place only one process on the plan. 77. Click on the ‘Search’ button, search for ‘EAF steel.’ 78. Drag and drop it onto the plan Since each plan requires one fixed process, this process must also be fixed. 79. Double click on the process and set the scaling factor to ‘1’ and select ‘Fixed’ just like before. 80. Save and close this plan. 55
