Environmental
Impact Calculator.

The top of the decision chain. Cost savings persuade a site manager; carbon, water and contamination exposure persuade a board. This calculator turns your MWE deployment into board-ready ESG evidence — tonnes of CO₂e avoided, litres of diesel and water saved, and spill remediation exposure contained — using DEFRA 2024 conversion factors.

Your Operation

M1 — Fuel Logistics (FuelBag)

External fuel deliveries no longer required because the FuelBag is refilled on a planned schedule and distributes on-site.

Machines no longer tracking across site to a fixed fuel point and idling in a queue — fuel goes to the machine instead.

M2 — Generator Elimination (WetBag Hydraulic)

Hydraulic drive runs off your excavator's auxiliary circuit — the separate pump generator is eliminated entirely.

M3 — Water Efficiency (DustBag)

A mist cannon uses ~300 L/hr against ~1,000 L/hr for an open hose — same suppression, 70% less water.

M4 — Spill Containment (PPG26 Bunding)

Every litre in a 110% bund is a litre that cannot reach ground or watercourse. EA remediation cases typically run £10k–£60k per incident.

ESG & Reporting Position Strengthened

Scope 1 reduction — measured litres of diesel removed from your direct fuel records, with a documented basis for SECR and carbon reporting.
PPG26 containment — 110% integral bunding turns fuel storage from an environmental liability into a controlled, evidenced asset.
Water stewardship — ~70% less suppression water supports abstraction limits and site water management plans.
Tender & PQQ evidence — quantified environmental measures strengthen PAS 2080-aligned and social-value scored bids.
Methodology. Indicative figures using DEFRA 2024 GHG conversion factors: diesel 2.66 kg CO₂e/litre; rigid HGV ~0.81 kg CO₂e/km (average laden); small site generator ~2.5 L/hr; open hose ~1,000 L/hr vs mist cannon ~300 L/hr; mature tree ~22 kg CO₂/yr; average UK car ~0.17 kg CO₂e/km. Spill remediation range reflects typical Environment Agency enforcement and clean-up cases. This models avoided activity, not a guarantee — your figures depend on site specifics.
