M+ Wastecare Calculator

M+WasteCare Calculator

OVERVIEW

A humble vision and desire to discuss the environmental impacts of waste management decisions catalyzed the creation of a limitedĀ beta application in late 2016 , and now, a desktop and mobile application, thanks to ourĀ Software Development Studio. Meet M+WasteCare.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS TOOL?

Facility Managers are the most common users, though anyone with an interest in becoming more informed about the impact of waste management decisions, seeking to minimize their footprint, is welcome to test the tool!

CROWDSOURCING

Calculating emissions is not an exact science — continuous changing factors are a reality. This calculator highlights those factors (and equations). The tool is meant to aid the healthcare community and others to (better) understand how waste decisions affect environmental outcomes. Let’s build a community of people who can vet and improve the underlying assumptions. Contact us to discuss further.Ā
