Sample tool

Paper and print emissions, worked out from tonnages

This is a sample version of a tool I have built. Change any tonnage below and the figures update. The same tool can be built around your own grades, suppliers and emission factors.

Sample data only. The paper grades, suppliers and emission factors below are made up for demonstration and are not taken from any client or supplier.
