how to use circular footprint formula for modeling in openLCA

Question

I am conducting LCA modeling for the EOL recycling stage of batteries. Is it true that the Circular Footprint Formula cannot be used for modeling in openLCA software, and that calculations have to be done separately using Excel?

Answer 1

Hi, no this is not needed, openLCA is not SimaPro ;)

You can do this in openLCA.

In a nutshell, add supply chains to address the needed impacts. But I see that this could be better addressed in a complete example, we have done one in an advanced training e.g. some time ago, I will check..

any updates on this? if there are any public resources on implementing CFF in openLCA, I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me to them.

Hi Andreas,

I am pleased openLCA can handle CFF! I would be very interested to follow advanced training on this topic. could you share a contact name or a training program link?
