How Plan A Calculates End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Product Emissions

This calculation method entails multiplying waste per waste type by an emission factor tailored to the specific waste type within the specified timeframe and location where the waste was generated. Emission factors consider the proportion of each waste type typically disposed of in landfills and the landfilling emissions of the given waste type.

It's important to note that waste type is determined by the material composition of the product being sold. In cases where a product consists of multiple materials, the waste type should be inputted for each material component. For example, if you sell a plastic product sold in paper packaging, you should input data for the paper and plastic waste separately.

The calculation methodology adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

The calculation method entails multiplying waste per waste type by an emission factor tailored to the specific waste type within the specified timeframe and location where the waste was treated. The emissions include emissions caused by landfill and incineration of different waste types.

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

This calculation method entails calculating the gate-to-grave emissions from End-of-life treatment of sold products. The calculation involves multiplying the reference flow value of the waste good by a custom emission factor and the quantity multiplier, all provided by the client relevant to the reporting timeframe and location. Emission factors provided by the client should represent all the relevant gate-to-grave emission impacts of the End-of-life phase. However, it's the reporting company's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the inputs provided.
