This also applies to the brake and road wear emission flows.

This seems to be a relic of the modeling of waste flows as negative inputs in previous versions of ecoinvent. These negative value generate negative results during Monte-Carlo simulations.

I am referring to the ecoinvent v3.6 cut-off database.
In fact, this seems to be the case for the waste flows of all the datasets I have checked.

The issue with the negative uncertainty values for the waste flows has now been resolved. The updated databases are available for download from https://nexus.openlca.org/database/ecoinvent

Yes, you are right, and this is indeed incorrect, and happened when we created the waste flows instead of products. We will fix this with a new version.

Thank you for spotting it!
