Circularity package and material criticality

Question

I have added both ecoinvent cutoff 3.10 and 3.8 as databases to openLCA. I want to use the circularity package (https://nexus.openlca.org/database/Circularity%20Package) to calculate the material criticality.

When I go to database -> indicators and parameters -> ecoinvent 38 methods -> there is no Circularity (GreenDelta,) option. But according to the documents tab here https://nexus.openlca.org/database/Circularity%20Package , it should be there.

I have tried this on ecoinvent 3.10 cut off too, but the Sh2E package is also not there.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Answer 1

Hi! Thank you for your query. I have double checked and the criticality method is available in the Circularity Package v2.1. If you download that .zolca file and import it in openLCA, it should work.

Thank you for the quick response! I did not realise that the circularity package  is not a part of the ecoinvent or openLCA LCIA methods/zolca files already, and that it has to be purchased.
