如何计算Recycling Impact

learn.whatIsHeading

Recycling saves energy and reduces CO₂ compared to producing materials from virgin resources. Aluminium recycling saves 95% of the energy needed for primary smelting.

公式

Material composition % | Energy saved by recycling: Aluminum 95%, Paper 60%, Glass 30%, Plastic 30–50%

分步指南

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

例题解析

输入

15kg paper + 8kg plastic + 3kg aluminium per year

结果

CO₂ saved ≈ 16.5 + 12 + 27 = 55.5 kg CO₂e/yr
