The dataset comprises output data from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model focused on compostable nappies. It includes detailed information on various life cycle stages (manufacture, transport, use, collection, and disposal) and the environmental impact associated with each. The data is structured as CSV files, detailing material inputs, energy consumption, and resulting environmental outputs. The dataset facilitates the analysis of different end-of-life scenarios for compostable nappies, including landfill, incineration, and composting.

Provenance & quality
The data originated from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model developed using GaBi software (version 10.6.2.9). Input data was gathered from primary sources (personal communication with manufacturers) and secondary sources (literature review, Ecoinvent v 3.8, and patent documents). The model output data was then extracted, organized, and converted to CSV format. Quality control involved team discussions and comparison with existing literature.
