Waste carbon footprint calculator

Enter kg of household waste per week and what share you recycle. We estimate annual tonnes to landfill vs recycling, apply country-specific factors (methane and processing for landfill; collection and reprocessing for recycling), and show total kg and tonnes CO₂ per year.

It’s the CO2 from the waste you send to landfill and to recycling. Landfill usually has higher emissions per tonne than recycling; we use country-specific factors.

Enter kg of household waste per week and the share you recycle. We split into landfill vs recycled, apply emission factors, and show annual kg and tonnes CO2 plus a trees-equivalent.
