EPA WARM Methodology & Data Sources

? Recycling Calculations

Source: EPA Waste Reduction Model (WARM) Version 16 (December 2023). Emission factors represent net CO₂ reductions from recycling vs. landfill disposal, including transportation, processing, and material recovery impacts.

♻️ Reuse Calculations

Source: French ADEME government studies and peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research. Reuse multipliers (2x-4x) based on studies showing 85-91% emissions reduction for refurbished electronics vs. new manufacturing.

Default Reuse Percentages: Based on 27 months of TechnoCycle operational disposition data (January 2022 - March 2024).

  • EPA WARM v16 certified emission factors (December 2023)
  • EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator (2024)
  • ADEME (French Environment Agency) reuse impact research
  • Peer-reviewed electronics LCA studies
  • R2 certification compliant methodology
