Understand the category

What do waste treatment factors cover?

Waste factors describe collection or treatment routes such as recycling, incineration, landfill, composting, anaerobic digestion and wastewater treatment. The material, moisture content and treatment technology determine which factor is relevant.

Choose the right factor

How should a waste treatment factor be selected?

Identify the waste stream and its composition as precisely as possible.
Select the actual treatment route rather than a generic destination.
Check whether transport, avoided emissions or biogenic carbon are included.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about waste treatment factors

Can one factor be used for all waste?

No. Paper, plastics, metals, organic waste and wastewater follow different treatment processes and require appropriate factors.

Are recycling benefits always included?

No. Avoided-production benefits depend on the methodology and boundary used by the selected factor.

Should waste collection transport be added?

Add it when it is not already included in the selected treatment factor and when it is material to the assessment.
