GWP 1 tons vs 1 kg

Question

Hello,

Imagine, if we have found a study stating the GWP for 1 tons of product.

Would it be suitable and methodologically correct to divide that GWP value to have it for 1 kg of the same product ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

In attributional LCA, you have fully linear results (which is of course a simplification of reality), which means you can indeed scale the results with the functional unit - for 1 t product results are 1000 times the results obtained for 1 kg (e.g.).
