This is because the benefits of energy recovery and recycling are attributed to the user of the recycled materials, not the producer of the waste, in line with GHG Protocol Guidelines. For landfill, the factors in the tables include collection, transportation and landfill emissions (‘gate to grave’). For combustion and recycling, the factors consider transport to an energy recovery or materials reclamation facility only. This is in line with GHG Protocol Guidelines, with subsequent emissions attributed to electricity generation or recycled material production respectively..
