There are four End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products calculation methods to choose from:

  • Bring Your Own Emission Factors allows you to upload your own emission factors to calculate emissions. Plan A does not test or verify any emission factors you may upload. It is your responsibility to ensure the emission factors align with your reporting needs.

  • End-of-life treatment of fashion products and packaging calculates emissions using data on the quantity of products sold, their weight, and the type of waste generated.

  • You can calculate your emissions by weight per type of product sold. This is our recommended calculation method as it provides the most accurate results.

  • Bring Your Own Emissions allows you to upload your own pre-calculated emissions to the Plan A platform. For more information, see here.

Our calculation methods are listed from most accurate to least accurate. We recommend calculation methods based on their accuracy, but ultimately, you should choose a calculation method that fits the data you have access to.

For more information on how to choose a calculation method, read the Choose a Calculation Method article.
