Hi Andreas,
thank you for response,
I believe these values are incorrect and should not be added in EPDs, what fix would you suggest??

HI Andreas,
could you share your thoughts on this pls?
I am looking to publish an EPD.

This is a somewhat messy topic - in my view, GaBi waste results are way way too low and ecoinvent waste flows are somewhat high and maybe too high. Ideally, if you are on a steel EPD, you can obtain direct data for the waste from the steel company.
