Biggest repository of free and paid LCA databases. No Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida without these: the openLCA Nexus service is a centralized online repository providing access to a vast collection of Inventário do Ciclo de Vida (LCI) e Avaliação do impacto do ciclo de vida (LCIA) datasets. It aggregates data from major global providers, including ecoinvent, GaBi, and the ELCD, to offer harmonized datasets optimized for seamless integration with openLCA software.
The platform features a robust search engine and mapping tools that allow users to filter over 300,000 datasets by geographical region, industrial sector, product category, and year of validity, effectively bridging the gap between disparate data sources and modeling software.
Essas bases de dados estão no formato OpenLCA, mas podem ser utilizadas em outros softwares de ACV com algumas adaptações.
Note que, embora algumas dessas bases de dados sejam gratuitas, o cadastro é obrigatório.
In fabricação and engineering, professionals must utilize such datasets to model complex supply chains, optimize resource efficiency, and perform material selection via specialized libraries like thisIDEMAT (“Industrial Design & Engineering MATerials” database). Teams apply the peer-reviewed inventory data to validate the sustainability of emerging tecnologias, executar ecodesign iterations, and quantify circularity through vida útil sustainability assessments. Quality and compliance specialists leverage the standardized impact methods to generate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and ensure adherence to international regulatory frameworks such as EN 15804.
