In the context of global requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in accordance with ESRS standards regarding climate change, Reciclad’OR actively monitors and contributes to the reduction of these emissions by recovering and recycling packaging waste.
Remarkable Progress
In 2022, Reciclad’OR recycled over 181,000 tons of packaging waste for its partners, resulting in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 1,098,854 t CO2 equivalent. In 2023, this figure increased to over 189,000 tons, contributing 1,040,734 t CO2 equivalent to emission reduction.
So far, the data has been used internally due to the absence of a legal framework for individual reporting. With the introduction of individual reporting in January 2024, Reciclad’OR will provide, upon request, each company an individual report on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from recycling activities, starting February 2025.
Methodology and Accuracy
Reciclad’OR uses the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method to ensure data accuracy. This takes into account various types of packaging from industrial and municipal sectors, analyzing collection, sorting, and recycling schemes. We also evaluate the impact of goods generation and energy consumption from unsustainable sources.
