Download WFLDB
To download the database, you need to have an active license for SimaPro 9.0 or later (active subscription or a valid service contract on or after August 31, 2022). WFLDB uses copies of ecoinvent 3.5 cut-off system processes in its background model, therefore a valid ecoinvent license is required.
About the developer
World Food LCA Database (WFLDB) is a global initiative led by Quantis in partnership with leaders in the agri-food sector. WFLDB was launched in 2012 in response to the growing need for reliable, transparent, and coherent environmental data and a consistent methodology for assessing the impacts of agri-food products. The database provides players across the agri-food value chain with high-quality emissions factors and environmental footprint data (including carbon, water, land, etc.) to help them better understand the impacts of their products and bolster decision-making.
