    Waste generation and disposal (C2.2)

    Weight of hazardous and non- hazardous waste generated by type (tonnes), referring to sector- specific guidance for types of waste. Weight of hazardous and non- hazardous waste (tonnes) disposed of, split into:

    • Waste incinerated (with and without energy recovery);
    • Waste sent to landfill; and
    • Other disposal methods.

    Weight of hazardous and non- hazardous waste (tonnes) diverted from landfill, split into waste:

    • Reused;
    • Recycled; and
    • Other recovery operations.

    No further guidance.

    Non-GHG air pollutants (C2.4)

    Non-GHG air pollutants (tonnes) by type:

    • Particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10);
    • Nitrogen oxides (NO2, NO and NO3);
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOC or NMVOC);
    • Sulphur oxides (SO2, SO, SO3, SOX); and
    • Ammonia (NH3).
    Additional pollutants to report under the core global disclosure metric include:

    • Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

    From the list of pollutants under the core global disclosure metric, an organisation should particularly look to include particulate matter from the combustion of wood fuel from the production stage; and sulphur and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from processing and manufacturing.
