What is the most preferred (free) database for landfilling, waste management, and minig projects?

Question

I am an environmental engineer in the field of waste management. I need to assess the impacts of landfilling and landfill mining, waste treatment and separation, and waste management processes. Now, I am using ELCD database. However, it cannot satisfy me with the project. I want to know the most practical (free) database in such a field.

Thank you in advance for your supports.

Best regards.

Hi Ehsan, you can search for these processes on https://nexus.openLCA.org an filter by database. We recently released the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) database which is quite comprehensive. Of the free databases this may be the one which suits your needs best. But again, just visit nexus and search for processes in the databases and decide based on that. I hope this helps.
