How did we determine the default number of uses?

How were the default use values determined?

The default values are based on average use rates gathered through an industry questionnaire. We review these values regularly to make sure they reflect current usage accurately. They provide a starting point and may differ from your own situation.

Can I adjust the default reuse values?

Yes. You can adjust the reuse value for each material in the calculator to match your own operations and use practices. Enter a realistic total number of uses, as this directly affects the calculated carbon footprint per use.
