Are there any tools available to help communities develop a baseline assessment of their waste practices and capture opportunities to improve them?
EPA has created several tools to aid community leaders in assessing their waste management practices and evaluating alternative management of waste. The Waste Reduction Model (WARM) is a free, user-friendly software tool that enables waste managers to compare GHG emissions from business-as-usual waste management practices with emissions from alternative strategies. The ReCon Tool calculates GHG emissions and energy consumption related to purchasing and/or manufacturing activities using analyses of baseline and alternative recycled-content scenarios, while the The Durable Goods Calculator estimates GHG emissions and energy in order to support voluntary gas measurement and reporting initiatives, as well as provide information regarding the GHG emission implications of waste management decisions.
