Methodology & Notes

How We Count Tanks

Each physical IBC unit is counted once at intake. Tanks that are reconditioned and later returned for re-reconditioning are counted again as a separate processing event.

CO2 Calculations

CO2 avoided is calculated using lifecycle assessment data for new IBC manufacturing (120 kg CO2e per unit) multiplied by the number of tanks reconditioned for reuse. Recycled tanks receive partial credit based on material recovery rates.

Material Weights

Material recovery weights are measured at our facility using certified industrial scales. HDPE, steel, and wood are weighed separately after disassembly. Small components (gaskets, valves) are estimated based on manufacturer specifications.

Third-Party Verification

We are working toward third-party verification of our sustainability metrics starting in 2025. Currently, all data is self-reported based on our internal tracking systems and reconciled quarterly.
