    14. Module C3: Relates to the share of the raw material that will directed to waste processes facilities. Based

    on the end-of-waste scenario assumed in your model.

    15. Module C4: Relates to the share of the raw material that will be directed to final disposal (e.g. landfilling).

    Data import
    In addition to manual data input, there are
    three options to import data:

    1. Direct import (see Import from Excel file)


    2. Integrations with other softwares (e.g.
    IMPACT from StruSoft, and openLCA)
    3. Importing data from existing projects

    To import data using any of the above


    methods, go to the design you want to import
    to and select “Input data”.

    At the bottom of the menu, you can choose the


    method of import you wish to use:

    • Import Excel or gbXML files


    • Import from another software

    Q&A AND SELF-STUDY ASSIGNMENT
    Finding suitable options – Questions to ask

    1. Do my suppliers have an EPD for their products? If yes, this is always the preferred method

    2. If not, what is the product composition/manufacturing process?

    Help Centre article:

    How Do I Use A +A1 EPD In My +A2 LCA?


    What is Ecoinvent?

    • Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database that supports various types of sustainability assessments.
    • Contains activities referred as “datasets”
    • modelling human activities or processes (industry, agriculture, etc.)
    • measuring:
    ○ the natural resources withdrawn from the environment,
    ○ the emissions released to the water, soil and air,
    ○ the products demanded from other processes (electricity),
    ○ the products, co-products and wastes produced.

    Generic data used to model the LCA


    Finding suitable options – Questions to ask

    1. Do they have the same raw materials?

    2. Do they have the same technology for production?

    3. Can a similar manufacturing process be used?

    4. Do they have a similar structure (for chemicals)?

    5. Can they be cut off?


    Finding suitable options – Steel example

    1. Raw materials

    1. Production technology
