Errors in importing Plastics Europe database into OpenLCA 2.0.1

Question

Hello community,

 I am trying to import the Plastics Europe Database into OpenLCA 2.0.1 and I am getting a large number of errors (like over 50,000). When I click on details, I see that all of them are invalid references in ILCD datasets. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I imported it using a compressed zip file and with no flow mapping.

Regards,

Meg

Answer 1

Yes, that is a known issue, these files have been created with GaBi and GaBi seems to exclude common flows etc. that are already known in GaBi, which means these files do not work in other tools then (and it is of course not in line with the ILCD format requirements in my view, to provide ILCD zip packages which link to non-existing files).

I understand, thank you for the info.
