- The core of any LCA tool is the data which underpins it. The development and management of the PIQET database is the main focus of development for PIQET over many uses. We aim to ensure that data is:
- Accurate

- The database underpinning PIQET is the global ecoinvent database which is unique is its comprehensiveness and is a globally respected data supplier.
