I am looking at the process for recycling walking aids. Has anyone completed a carbon footprint for these?
Carbon footprint for walking aids
Comments (5)
The planning pack attached has a carbon calculator and footprints for walking aid types. We have used the following footprint for ours:
Wheeled walker steel 11.558 kg CO2e
Wheeled walker aluminium 31.12 kg CO2e
Walker aluminium 28.84 kg CO2e
Crutches steel 3.25 kg CO2e
Crutches aluminium 8.04 kg CO2e
Stick aluminium 2.19 kg CO2e
I would have a look at Grace Cares.
The link for carbon calculator sadly no longer works, the numbers above- did you get from the calculator, i cant find anywhere else to do it and doing a project on reusing these items
