Geography
The cited acrylic fibre LCA case study is based on a plant in Egypt (Yacout et al., 2016) and not sufficient to assert a specific ILCD country/region for this dataset. Therefore, geography is set to GLO for dataset-build consistency; users should substitute regional energy/chemical supply where appropriate. · Area not specified

Technology description
Waste of man-made fibres generated at an acrylic fibre plant as off-spec fibre, tow, spinning waste, and trimming/handling losses arising across polymerization, spinning and downstream washing/drying/finishing steps (cradle-to-gate plant waste stream).; Preparation of acrylic polymer spinning dope as part of an acrylic fibre manufacturing cradle-to-gate process chain. Included because the provided technical description states the waste stream arises across polymerization and spinning-related steps. Literature supports acrylic fibre manufacturing as a cradle-to-gate system including raw materials and manufacturing steps and generated wastes, but does not provide unit-operation resolved inventories in the provided excerpt.; Flow represents a plant-level mixed stream of man-made fibre scraps/offcuts (not fabric wet-processing residues), consistent with the ILCD 'Production mix, at plant' field.; Treatment is not defined in the flow; route ends at generation and on-site handling/temporary storage for off-site management.; Primary technology context anchored to acrylic fibre manufacturing as the closest matching reference cluster (C1).
