I was confused by this. I think that the issue is that the waste flow "spoil" is produced by lots of processes but that the only process (in the ELCD database) that consumes it is container glass, so openLCA connects it in, even when there isn't a real link to the main process. I think you can swap it out for another process to deal with the spoil

Answer 1

It is glass collected in containers, from households, from glass used for bottles and so on in packaging.
