Circular Economy

TEMPORARY: mcf - methane correction factor

ef for recycled materials (this is a production emission factor)

for domestic solid waste: kg_dbo5_per_capita_per_anho kg_n2_per_kg_proteina kg_n2o_per_kg_n kg_por_persona_proteina_per_anho max_ch4_per_dbo max_ch4_per_dco mcf_ch4_dbo5

• waste generated per capita

• fraction of waste by solid waste category

• DOC (degradable organic carbon)

• k (check)

by applicable type (subcategories): - fraction of waste recycled - fraction of waste composted

for REMAINING WASTE: - fraction of TOTAL waste landfilled - fraction of TOTAL waste burned - fraction of TOTAL waste uncaptured

---

for each liquid waste type: - fraction that is not sewered - fraction that is sewered and not treated - fraction that is sewered + treated
