  1. 1CO₂ saved = Weight recycled × CO₂e saving factor
  2. 2Aluminium: ~9 kg CO₂e saved per kg recycled
  3. 3Paper: ~1.1 kg CO₂e per kg
  4. 4Plastic: ~1.5 kg CO₂e per kg

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
15kg paper + 8kg plastic + 3kg aluminium per year
ଫଳ
CO₂ saved ≈ 16.5 + 12 + 27 = 55.5 kg CO₂e/yr
