Life Cycle Inventory database GaBi

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) facilitates the systematic quantitative assessment of products, both goods and services, in terms of environmental, human health, and resource consumption considerations. The full life cycle of a product is taken into account– this includes the supply of raw materials, processing, transport, retail, use, as well as end-of-life waste management.



A quantitative LCA-study requires Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data on technical processes included in the system under study. Mostly such data are collected on a case-by-case basis with the help of the companies involved.



In LCI databases process data are often organized around a unit process. A unit process describes the produced goods (economic output), consumed goods (economic input) , emitted substances (environmental output) and consumed resources (environmental input). A produced economic output is economic input of the next process in the chain. In this way unit processes are linked to a cradle-to-grave process chain relevant for a specific product.



The GaBi database is a commercial database which provides over 10,000 Life Cycle Inventory results for cradle-to-gate product chains. Data are based on primary data collection from global companies, associations and public bodies. These datasets have been developed from an underlying database of about 30,000 unit process data sets.
