Streamline your LCA data selection with genre labels
Choosing the right input for your Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model is crucial. Earthster's unique genre labelling system for processes (LCA datasets) is designed to guide you.
Each label represents a different category of input, making it easier to find the dataset that aligns with your model's requirements. The labels also offer a quick way for filtering process search results.
