Carbon Footprint
Our operations have achieved a significant reduction in CO2 emissions since the contract began.
As part of measuring our performance in Merseyside and Halton we calculate the carbon footprint of our operations and implement extensive measures to reduce our impact year on year.
A carbon footprint model has been created for every contract year since year 1 (2009-2010) for the integrated waste management system (IWMS) that serves the six district councils operating under the Merseyside and Halton Waste Partnership.
The Environment Agency’s Life Cycle Assessment tool WRATE (Waste and Resources Assessment Tool for the Environment) has been utilised to generate the carbon footprint.
The contract was first carbon negative in the 5th year of operations 2013-14 and remains so in the most recent reporting year. Therefore the operations of the contract can be considered carbon negative.
What is WRATE?
The WRATE software tool is used to assess the environmental impacts of the entire life cycle of the activity with regard to the Global Warming Potential (GWP) or carbon footprint of the operations, and is measured in CO2 equivalents.
