Revanssi

CO2 calculator for waste and metals

  • Companies are increasingly interested in the impact of waste management on their carbon footprint. Emission factors commonly used in the calculation are outdated and only apply to a specific geographical area.
  • We developed two calculators for the waste and recycling company Revanssi to calculate the emissions and avoided emissions from waste management and recycling of different metals for their customers.
  • The calculators allow to provide the customer with more accurate information on the carbon footprint of the purchased service. The results of the calculations provide an incentive to sort waste even more carefully, as recycling often avoids a significant amount of emissions compared to incinerating waste for energy.

Under Positive Impact's guidance, we developed and are now offering to customers carbon footprint and avoided emissions metrics for metals and conventional waste management. Responsible actions require reliable information on current emissions, and we want to provide the tools to do this.

Suomen biokaasu ja -kierto ry

Kiertolannoitteen hiilijalanjälkilaskuri

  • Fertilizers produced from surplus and waste raw materials are more climate and environmentally friendly than mineral fertilizers in many applications, but no precise information had been available.
  • We implemented and piloted a carbon footprint calculator, guidelines and calculation documentation for recycled fertilizer products, following the GHG protocol in detail but without compromising usability.
  • A functional and easy-to-use carbon footprint calculator will help fertilizer manufacturers to justify the switch to recycled fertilizers. A common calculator across the industry also helps with the comparability of calculations.

  • We want it to be easy and efficient for companies to achieve a low carbon future. That's why our slogan is: CO2 Roadmap is the fastest route from reporting the past to changing the future.
  • Development of the service has received support from the European Regional Development Fund.
