Our Commitment to a Greener World.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have dual goals to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions from our 2022 baseline by 45% by 2030 and be net zero by 2040.

Emissions Inventory

Scope 1: In 2023, our Scope 1 GHG emissions were 5,063 MT CO2e (metric tons of CO2 equivalent). Our 2023 biogenic emissions were 12,143 MT CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were decreased by 5,127 MT CO2e from 2022 to 2023 – an approximate 50% emissions reduction from our baseline. This noteworthy reduction highlights GreenWaste’s 2023 pivotal shift to exclusively using 100% renewable fuels in our off-road, heavy equipment fleet.

Scope 2: In 2023, our Scope 2 GHG emissions were 3,124 MT CO2e (location-based) or 4,381 MT CO2e (market-based). Scope 2 emissions were decreased by 758 MT CO2e using the location-based method and 250 MT CO2e using the market-based method – a 8% and 5% emissions reduction, respectively.
