IDEA (Inventory Database for Environmental Analysis)
A hybrid inventory database of statistical data and process data developed and maintained by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and the Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI).
It includes LCI datasets for non-manufacturing industries (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, construction and civil engineering), manufacturing industries (food and beverages, textiles, chemicals, ceramics and building materials, metals and machinery), electricity, gas, water supply and sewerage, and more, covering almost all products classified within the scope of the Japanese Standard Commodity Classification, ensuring comprehensiveness.
PSILCA
A database for Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) developed by GreenDelta, the developer of openLCA.
Based on Eora's multi-regional input-output database, which contains comprehensive general inventory information on approximately 190 industrial sectors and products in approximately 15,000 countries, it is possible to calculate and evaluate the social impacts of products along their life cycles and detect social hotspots.
All datasets contain information about their origin, the year of the particular data point, and the overall rating scheme (some database types also provide additional information about the raw values and data quality).

What is LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)?
This is a methodology for assessing the environmental impact of products and services throughout their entire life cycle. It quantitatively analyzes the environmental impact at each stage, from the collection of raw materials to manufacturing, use and disposal, and supports decision-making for sustainable development.
