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.
