Within the GHG protocol framework, the emissions linked to the generation of waste on site are calculated from the CO2e emission factor by type of waste and treatment method used.

If information on the waste type is not available it is possible to use only the treatment method with an average factor for each treatment method.

The part on waste transport is optional (see method Upstream Distribution & Transportation)

We invite you to use this data collection file to send us the right information. The paragraph "Description of the file" will guide you in the use of the file.
