Within the EU Horizon Europe project SAGELi, we are developing an interactive platform to visualise results of multicriteria ecodesign assessments. The platform aims to provide early-stage feedback to technology developers on how specific design choice – e.g., electrolyte or electrodes’ composition – affect key sustainability dimensions. These dimensions are critical raw material use, safety,...

Reliable LCA background databases are essential for conducting robust environmental impact assessments. Brightway is one of the most flexible tools for performing LCA, yet it primarily relies on the ecoinvent database, making compatibility with other commercial datasets challenging. Consequently, the transparent integration of multiple background databases—such as ecoinvent, Agribalyse, or the...

ILCD is a large and complex data format, designed to allow for publication of unit processes, aggregated processes, and impact assessment data. This broad scope produced a complex format, with a typical dataset having over 100 fields spread across multiple files.

This complexity has significant downsides: cognitive overload, duplicated information, and non-compliant publication.
