Hi Stefano,
Thanks for your question. The relevant PlasticsEurope report is either mentioned in the documentation or in the corresponding version 2 report. You can access the version 2 reports in ecoQuery (ecoinvent online). For EPS, the ecoinvent dataset ‘polystyrene production, expandable, RER’ is based on the 2005 Eco-Profile from Boustead (you can still find the paper e.g. here). The published GWP is this report is 3.3 kg CO2 eq, whereas the ecoinvent GWP in the cut-off system model is within few percent. Small deviations as these can be explained with the different background data and – if applicable – different allocation strategies.
I would like to remind you not to publish scores in the forum, since these scores are only visible for users with a license. If you need to mention scores to clarify your question, please send us an email to support@ecoinvent.org.
I hope this answers your question.
Kind Regards,
Daria Dellenbach, Junior Data Analyst, ecoinvent association
