The flexibility of life cycle inventory (LCI) background data selection is increasing with the increasing availability of data, but this comes along with the challenge of using the background data with primary life cycle inventory data. To relieve the burden on the practitioner to create the linkages and reduce bias, this study aimed at applying automation to create foreground LCI from primary data and link it to background data to construct product system models (PSM).
