Why Carbon Minds Data Matters
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) for chemicals and plastics is notoriously complex. Many manufacturers struggle with:
Missing data for specific chemicals or plastics
Reliance on generic or outdated averages that distort results
Difficulty modeling supply chains across multiple regions and technologies
Carbon Minds solves these challenges. It offers the world’s most comprehensive and granular LCA database for chemicals and plastics, covering over 1,300 chemicals and hundreds of plastics with country- and even factory-level specificity.
One Click LCA is the only reseller that provides access to the entire Carbon Minds database — not just a limited subset. This means our customers can go deeper than ever before with supply chain modeling, regional benchmarking, and factory-level impact assessments.
Carbon Minds End User License Agreement applies to the use of this data, and it can be found at https://www.oneclicklca.com/eula-carbonminds/.
