Online Environmental Calculator:
Environmental Recycling Group working with businesses, needs a environmental online calculator to calculate the:
1. Savings to the Environment
2. Carbon Footprint (in terms of offsetting [savings])
3. impact to the Environment (either positively through recycling or negatively by not recycling).
The above will be based on the following:
- Priority: 1. Beverage containers: aluminum cans, plastic bottles.
- Secondary importance: 2. Cell phones & 3. Ink Jet Cartridges
A>
The EPA has a model called WARM (Waste Reduction Model) that is geared toward waste reduction industry and the volumnes or weights are done in the Metric of tons.
However, the Model needs to be scaled to individual units or aggregate of units of aluminum cans and plastic bottles over time. 6 months of 100 businesses will equal to .5 Metric Ton of savings to the environment. Where as 1 week for one biz = .00006 Ton
B>
The second form of the same or different calculator will not probably be based on the WARM model, but can be based on a number of websites or online environmental calculator. This may be a better route to go.
The EPA's WARM model should be relatively simple, since the formulas are already there, and it's a matter of a fraction of the metric ton.
