Climate calculator for a theoretic member in Green Dot Norway (GPN)
Grønt Punkt Norge (GPN) in cooperation with Mepex Consult AS has calculated the climate effect of recycling compared to energy recovery of packaging. The table below shows your contribution to this climate effect.
Material recovery and climate effect calculated based on the reported packaging use of the theoretical member in 2014
