How It Works
Estimates the environmental benefits of weekly curbside recycling using life-cycle analysis factors from the EPA Waste Reduction Model (WARM).
- Emissions Avoided: Measures greenhouse gases kept out of the atmosphere by substituting virgin manufacturing with recycled feedstocks.
- Energy Saved: Computes electricity conserved across paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum processing compared to raw extraction.
- Landfill Diverted: Tracks total mass of household waste redirected into circular manufacturing streams.
- Trees Preserved: Calculates mature trees saved by recovering paper fibers and cardboard.
