What components make up the emissions factors associated with each process?
Each of the five waste management practices contains assumptions about the emissions associated with each material in its post-use life cycle. Generally, these assumptions encompass the different stages of each material’s life cycle including the emissions associated with raw material acquisition and manufacturing, forest carbon sequestration, waste management emissions, transportation, soil carbon sequestration, combustion emissions, and composting emissions. A complete breakdown per waste management practice is outlined below.
