Procedure
Let´s assume that the usage of the paperclip 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.‟
71. Mark it with an „X‟ as a tracked flow.
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 our
use phase process.
72. Type in the output line „Steel scrap‟ and choose the flow „Steel scrap (St)‟ from
the object group „Waste for recovery.‟
73. Enter the amount „0.00035kg.‟
74. Mark this output flow with a „*‟ as a waste flow.
75. Save and close the process window.
76. On our life cycle plan connect the „Paper Clip Bending‟ process with the „Use
Phase Steel Paper Clip‟ process.
