An analysis of the current software tools indicates that photochemical ozone formation and ecotoxicity freshwater categories were highlighted because of their high relative impacts. Characterized and normalized impacts were calculated and compared in terms of maximum/minimum relative deviation for five different impact categories.
The product system was modeled in terms of gate-to-gate (G2G) and cradle-to-gate (C2G) approaches, and the ILCD midpoint was the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) method. The present study focuses on analyzing four LCA software tools: SimaPro, Gabi, Umberto® and openLCA, and a standard case study was designed for the LCA comparisons for the particleboard production in Brazil. This paper aims to present how different LCA results can be achieved due to using different LCA software tools for the same product system. There are different software tools to perform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and results may be different according to which software the user chooses.
