- Supply chain emissions represent a huge portion of UHCW’s overall carbon footprint.
- Insufficient data for baseline year in some areas.
- Need to reduce energy consumption and gas use at all sites.
- Need to improve waste segregation and recycling rates.
- Need to address the environmental impacts of single-use items.
