Recycle BC's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Recycle BC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,676,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 50,680,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 50,680,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This reflects a significant increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to previous years, where emissions were approximately 35,086,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 50,680,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The organisation has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined climate pledges suggests that while Recycle BC is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in its carbon footprint. Overall, Recycle BC's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to address its environmental impact effectively.
