A certificate of diversion is a record of what we picked up from you, how much it weighed, and where it went. Business clients get one at year-end.

Example figures only. CO₂e figures on real certificates are estimates based on material type and weight.
Hard numbers for the waste section of your report.
Track progress on diversion targets year over year.
Evidence for bids and supplier questionnaires that ask about waste.
A clear, one-page summary of what you kept out of landfill.
We weigh and categorise what we collect. For each material, we compare what happened to it (reuse or recycling) with what would usually happen if it went to landfill.
The difference is converted into an estimated amount of CO₂ equivalent avoided, using published emission factors for each material type.
These are estimates, not measurements. We label them that way everywhere, and we’re happy to walk you through the method.
