How to import SRI data (ecospold2) into OpenLCA?

Question

Hallo

I want to upload datasets from the SRI (Sustainable recycling industry) database (here). Unfortunally the data is in the ecospold2 format. I converted it into ecospold1, ILCD and CSV to upload it in OpenLCA with the help of the OpenLCA converter.

The upload does not work for any of the formats. There always 0.

Do you have expierence or any idea how to upload the data?

Thank you in advance

Ah interesting, typically the EcoSpold2 format has some new "improvements" that deviate from the official, documented release back when ecoinvent 3.0 was released therefore the import / conversion is always somewhat difficult, and we essentially removed it from openLCA - I think many of the datasets from SRI have found their way into ecoinvent but we can have a look. The open data license pdf is not accessible though:
