Emission intensity of disposing of the specified material through cumbustion. These factors do not include any avoided emissions impact from any of the disposal methods. Combustion emissions include transport to combustion facility and combustion-related non-biogenic CO2 and N2O. Retrieved from the EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx).

Aluminum Cans - Combusted

Emission intensity of disposing of the specified material to landfill. These factors do not include any avoided emissions impact from any of the disposal methods. Landfilling emissions include transport to landfill/equipment use at landfill and fugitive landfill CH4 emissions. Landfill CH4 is based on typical landfill gas collection practices and average landfill moisture conditions. Retrieved from the EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx).

Aluminum Cans - Landfilled

Emission intensity of recycling the specified material. These factors do not include any avoided emissions impact from any of the disposal methods. Recycling emissions include transport to recycling facility and sorting of recycled materials at material recovery facility. Retrieved from the EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx).
