Скачать или смотреть What is SWEFT? | Zero Waste Scotland

As with its predecessor, the Carbon Metric, SWEFT includes the impacts of waste generated during the upstream production process, such as raw material extraction and manufacturing, and during waste management. Any benefits of waste treatment, for example due to recycling, are also included.

It is an evolution of the Carbon Metric, a pioneering development in the monitoring of waste impacts. However, unlike the Carbon Metric, SWEFT expands our knowledge by combining the carbon impacts of waste with the results of other environmental damage indicators including:

Climate change (carbon emissions)
Biodiversity loss
Air pollution
Water consumption
Mineral resource scarcity
Land use
