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.
