Waste Management
You can calculate upstream emissions from waste generated in operations for a reporting company, either by company-owned/controlled operations or by third-party treatment and disposal of waste. You can also calculate downstream emissions from waste generated during the end-of-life treatment of company’s sold products.
Use one of these methods to calculate emissions:
-
Supplier-specific method: Involves collecting waste-specific scope 3 emissions data directly from waste treatment companies.
-
Waste-type-specific method: Involves using emission factors for specific waste types and waste treatment methods.
-
The Waste Footprint object represents the volume of aggregated waste and carbon emissions from waste generated either as part of operations or at the end of life of a product.
-
The Generated Waste object represents the information on the waste generated in operations, the waste generated while treating end-of-life products that were sold, and so on.
