Municipal waste /mixed waste

Emission factors for waste indicate the amount of emissions from waste incineration, recycling or landfilling. If waste is recovered by recycling into material or energy, the waste emission factor typically only includes emissions from transport to waste treatment. Waste emissions can be reduced by reducing the amount of waste, optimizing the use of raw materials and recycling materials efficiently.

On the OpenCO2.net platform, you can use our standard-based carbon footprint calculators and use this emission factor as input for emission calculations. As a paying customer, you get access to an extensive emissions database with more comprehensive features.

In addition to the information presented here, you can find more information about the type of emission (Fossil / Biogenic / Stored carbon /Carbon neutral), the life cycle stages included in the emission factor (Cradle-to-Grave / Cradle-to-Gate / Production phase / Use phase) and reliability of the emission factor (e.g. whether the emission factor has been verified by an independent third party) and other relevant information needed for the emission calculation. You can also perform unit conversions, add your own emission factors to the system and make your own list of your most used emission factors.
