Learn the definitions and calculations of key metrics shown in the Waste Management dashboard.
| METRIC | DESCRIPTION | CALCULATION |
|---|---|---|
| Total Waste Disposed | Total quantity of waste materials that have been discarded or disposed of by an organization. | Total quantity of disposed waste materials in tonnes. |
| Total Waste Emissions | Total emissions from the waste generated by an organization throughout its lifecycle, including production, disposal, and treatment phases. | Sum of (Scope 1 Emissions (tCO2e)Scope 3 Upstream Emissions from Waste Generated in Operations (tCO2e)Scope 3 Downstream Emissions from End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products (tCO2e)) |
| Total Upstream Emissions | Total greenhouse gas emissions occurring in the upstream stages of a product or service lifecycle, such as raw material extraction, transportation, and manufacturing. | Total Scope 3 Upstream Emissions from Waste Generated in Operations (tCO2e) |
| Total Downstream Emissions | Total greenhouse gas emissions from the downstream stages of a product or service lifecycle, including distribution, use, and end-of-life disposal. | Scope 3 Downstream Emissions from End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products (tCO2e) |
| Total Waste by Is Hazardous | Total waste materials based on whether they are classified as hazardous or non-hazardous. | Percentage of hazardous waste. |
| Treat Method | The method or process used to treat waste materials, such as recycling, incineration, or landfilling. | Unique Id of the method used to treat waste materials. |
| Waste Types | Different types of waste generated by an organization, such as organic waste, electronic waste, or packaging waste. | Types of waste generated by an organization. |
| Total Emissions | Total emissions generated by an organization, including emissions from energy use, waste management, and other activities. | Sum of (Scope 1 Emissions (tCO2e)Scope 3 Upstream Emissions from Waste Generated in Operations (tCO2e)Scope 3 Downstream Emissions from End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products (tCO2e)) |
| Waste diverted from Landfill vs Others | Comparison of waste materials that have been diverted from landfilling to alternative waste management methods, providing insights into waste reduction and sustainability efforts. | Line1 → ((sum(Disposed Waste Quantity in Tonnes) - sum(Disposed Waste Quantity in Tonnes where DisposalType in [ "LandFill", "Combusted"])) / sum(Disposed Waste Quantity in Tonnes)) *100Line2 -> sum(Disposed Waste Quantity in tonnes where DisposalType in ["LandFill"])Line3 -> sum(Disposed Waste Quantity in Tonnes where DisposalType in ["Combusted") |
