Value structure

Dimensions and units

Unit
% — source-defined reporting unit
Reporting basis
Reporting period used by the reporting organization; no further period specification is present in the extracted evidence.

Unit meaning: Values use % under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.

Published dimensions

  • life-cycle stage: direct operations, downstream, end of life
  • waste classification: hazardous waste
  • material input composition: new and recycled input materials
  • official metric code: C.C2.0

Percentage

Formula

(R_eol / I_total) × 100

Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone percentage outcome with an explicit numerator, denominator and stated life-cycle applicability. It is not equivalent to hazardous-waste generated, hazardous-waste mass, or finance-normalized hazardous-waste ratios in the shortlist. The materially compatible end-of-life candidate is consolidated under the same stable identity while retaining its source route.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Hazardous-waste classification and any applicable legal or reporting definition.
  • Weight basis and measurement or estimation method for recycled hazardous waste.
  • Definition of end-of-life or final-disposal material included in the numerator.
  • Whether and how material is determined to be recycled for reuse.
  • Total input-material weight included in the denominator, including treatment of new and recycled materials.
  • Organizational and value-chain-stage coverage.

Record-specific limitations

  • The denominator is total production input-material weight rather than total hazardous-waste weight.
  • The extracted evidence does not specify hazardous-waste classification criteria, consolidation approach, geography, product population, or measurement method.
  • The source locator does not provide an official metric code in the extracted candidate.
  • The candidate cites alignment with GRI 306 and SASB RT-CH-150a.1; those cited frameworks are context and do not replace the TNFD-defined construct.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
