Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

Westin Riverfront introduces reusable aluminium bottles replacing single-use plastic

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

In a journey to become completely plastic-free, Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa Avon, Vail Valley, has replaced its conventional in-room water packaging with infinitely recyclable aluminium bottles. This ensures a circular economy around the luxury hotel's compound. The resort has vouched to eradicate single-use plastic by 2024.

This incorporation of reusable aluminium bottles will remove almost 88,000 plastic counterparts from getting dumped into landfills. Westin has also overseen the installation of water filtration systems on every floor so that guests can easily enjoy fresh water filled into their aluminium bottles.

It is evident that The Westin Riverfront has been the first LEED Silver Certified hotel in both Colorado and the Westin group of hotels. The title was solely achieved due to its unique environmental approach. The resort supports Clean the World, a non-profit program that recycles and distributes discarded soap and shampoo products to impoverished people worldwide.

Furthermore, water filtration stations have been installed on every floor, and the Food & Beverage department has transitioned to using only eco-friendly to-go containers and silverware instead of plastic utensils. The resort has plans to introduce refillable bathroom amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body lotion, from next year.

In addition to these efforts, The Westin Riverfront resort is also embracing the new Town of Avon ordinance that mandates universal recycling for all residents, commercial entities, and visitors, beginning November 1st.

The resort was awarded Actively Green Certification from Eagle County's Walking Mountains Science Center last year and is partnering with them again to host free weekly "Nature at Night" educational events this winter. These events are open to both resort guests and the Vail Valley public and will run every Monday at 4 p.m. from January 8th to April 8th.

The Westin Riverfront resort is located in the heart of Vail Valley and has 230 guest residences, each with a custom kitchen, five-piece bathroom, gas fireplace, and Westin Heavenly Bed.
