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.
