There is an error when I try to pick a combination of labels

Updated over a week ago

Why this error occurs

This error means no emission factor exists for your specific combination of labels.

Example: You've selected a waste type and treatment method that don't have a matching emission factor in our database.

How to resolve label combination errors

Option 1: Try alternative combinations

  • Select a different waste treatment type

  • Choose a broader category if available

  • Test different label combinations until you find a match

Option 2: Use "Unknown" labels, if available

  • Select Unknown for the problematic label, if it is available

  • Our team will assign a general emission factor for that category

  • Less specific but allows you to proceed with data entry

Note that choosing "Unknown" label will slow down publishing of your data
