Environmental impact
Avoided and operational emissions, material diverted and the traceable Ocean Bound fraction, derived from the quarterly flake series. Emission factors are European references pending an own life cycle assessment.
tCO2e avoided
6.2%vs previous quarter
tCO2e scope 1
6.2%vs previous quarter
Scope 1 is derived from roughly 75 litres of boiler diesel per MT plus around 18 litres per MT from the generator.
Net tCO2e
6.2%vs previous quarter
Tonnes diverted, flake output
6.2%vs previous quarter
Tonnes diverted, bale intake
6.2%vs previous quarter

rPET against virgin PET
The avoided-emissions factor is the difference between the two carbon footprints below. It applies at the point of substitution in European production, not at the plant in Venezuela.
Ocean Bound Plastic fraction
Four of the five largest Venezuelan cities fall inside the 50 km coastal radius that the standard uses to define Ocean Bound Plastic. The exact certified fraction of output is pending third-party verification and is therefore not stated here as a percentage.
Water
Process water is recirculated and the treatment plant recovers close to 30 % of it. A full water balance is not yet published.
