It is aimed at organisations looking to strengthen their waste strategy, engage employees and suppliers, and turn high-level circular-economy commitments into a measurable plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For material that remains outside a company\u2019s direct recovery systems, the platform can help organisations close their waste-footprint \u2018gap\u2019 by purchasing or reserving verified recovery certificates. These are designed to direct funding to waste operators and recyclers, while the collection and processing activity is tracked through the Kolekt App.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The calculator combines the World Bank\u2019s \u2018What a Waste 3.0\u2019 data with Kolekt\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sim.kolekt.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waste Simulator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, providing a country-specific basis for estimating average waste footprints. Its integration with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/certificates.kolekt.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kolekt Certificates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and traceability tools gives recycling and FMCG companies a single route from estimation to funding and evidence of recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For producers, brands and retailers, the tool is intended to complement, rather than replace, waste prevention, product redesign, local collection systems and any applicable Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) or reporting obligations. It offers a practical way to understand a residual waste footprint, support waste-management infrastructure, and demonstrate progress through traceable action.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BVRio Group company, Kolekt, has launched its Waste Footprint Calculator, a new digital tool designed to help organisations
