Environmental Benefits Calculator

For more than a decade, NERC has housed a unique environmental benefits calculator that was based upon the EPA WARM model, but included features and material streams that the WARM model did not. 

With recent additions to the EPA WARM model, that tool has now caught up with, and exceeded, the NERC Calculator.  As such, the NERC Calculator is no longer being published and maintained.  Instead, please visit the EPA WARM model.  Local governments are able to generate EPA WARM model reports using Free accounts in Re-TRAC Connect™; a Web-based system used by governments and organizations to efficiently collect, measure, benchmark, and report recycling and solid waste data. The EPA Warm Model reports become available to users after entering tonnage information using the tonnage tracking feature in Re-TRAC Connect.

NERC will continue to publish state-specific fact sheets about the environmental results achieved as a result of reuse and recycling, but will use the WARM model for future reports.
