Our data can be accessed through the ecoQuery online portal. We encourage new users to explore the meta-information we provide on ecoQuery. The cumulative cradle-to-gate emissions, including the upstream supply chain and downstream waste treatment processes, can only be accessed by licensees.
Single-user licenses allow access to the latest version of the database available at the time of purchase.
A yearly subscription includes access to future database versions released after the initial purchase.
