**Definition A by-product is a material that is produced and sold during the production of another material (or other materials) whose production and sales form(s) the economic basis of the operation. The operation would be economically viable even if the by-products were not produced or, in the case of wastes, were disposed of rather than sold.

The Environmental Performance Profile Program is being developed under the auspices of Environment Canada, Minerals and Metals Division and associated mineral and metals sectors associations and corporations.

In calculating loadings, particular stressors and metrics were chosen to allow for the presentation of site-specific data. The data contained within this EPPDS are based on annual values and thus represent average conditions that apply to the production of the product.

The system boundary used in this quantification starts with raw materials and ends at the facility gate. This boundary includes the energy used for the transportation and processing of all raw materials and the on-site or off-site treatment of liquid effluent. It excludes the energy used for transportation of raw materials other than that to the facility and any potential downstream effects after the product has left the facility.
