An Update to German Waste Emission Factors.
We have updated our German waste emission factors for 2023. A correction has been made for waste emission factors, specifically for residual, plastic, and paper waste types in Germany. Prior to this update, there were inaccuracies in the calculation of waste ending up in landfills. With this correction, we have improved the accuracy of our emissions calculations.
With this change you are likely to see a significant increase in your reported emissions for plastic and paper waste, as well as an increase in your reported emissions for residual waste. This update only affects facilities in Germany.
