Method:
Waste Diversion Rate =
Total Diverted Waste / Total Waste Generated x 100
Total Diverted Waste =
Recycling + Composting + Reuse / Recovery + Anaerobic Digestion + Other Diversion
Waste Sent to Disposal =
Total Waste Generated – Total Diverted Waste
Avoid double counting waste that passes through more than one recovery stage.
Diversion definitions can vary between organizations and reporting frameworks. Some frameworks may classify specific treatment methods differently.
