Scope & method

Scope and context
Scope & method

Spinning/extrusion step converting acrylic polymer dope into as-spun fibre/tow. The user technical description indicates that waste includes off-spec fibre/tow and spinning waste, so a distinct spinning unit operation is modelled. Yacout et al. (2016) supports inclusion of manufacturing steps and generated waste within a cradle-to-gate acrylic fibre system boundary, but detailed operating conditions are not provided in the given excerpt.
