2024 Sustainability Report

This report has been carried out to assess Far North REAP’s  Carbon Emissions production and offset for 2024.

Carbon emissions are the release of carbon dioxide (CO2cap Ccap Osub2𝐶𝑂2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

These emissions can come from natural processes or human activities. 

According to data from New Zealand, around 30% of waste currently sent to landfills could be diverted, which equates to approximately 3.6 million tonnes of readily recyclable materials that could be diverted if disposed of correctly. 

When we use solar panels instead of relying on fossil fuels for electricity, we essentially "saved 195 trees" by reducing the need to cut down forests for energy production, as solar power is a renewable source that doesn't require burning wood or other biomass to generate electricity, thus helping to preserve natural ecosystems and combat deforestation.
