Our Measurement Approach

Transparent measurement instead of unsupported claims.

WasteX Stream establishes a baseline, records changes over time and uses documented factors to estimate environmental impact.

Evidence-based approach

Actual results depend on the type of waste, quality of available data, product characteristics, energy use, packaging and final disposal route.
