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.
