From bills to a signed plan
1. Add what you already have
Type in a year of bills, or import a spreadsheet. We guide you to the right unit and factor for gas, electricity, fleet, flights, hotels, waste and more.
2. Fill the Scope 3 gaps
Send suppliers a secure link to share their emissions. No account needed on their side; you review before anything counts.
3. Publish your reports
Set a baseline and target, list your reduction measures, get director sign-off, and print your Carbon Reduction Plan and SECR disclosure.
Numbers you can defend
Buyers and auditors increasingly check carbon figures. Every line in Carbon Recycling records the activity, the DESNZ factor, its year and ID, so you can show exactly how each tonne was calculated.
- Factor year chosen by when the activity happened, with bills split across years by day
- Transmission and distribution losses and well-to-tank included by default
- Radiative forcing on flights, as DESNZ recommends
- Renewable tariffs handled in market-based Scope 2, never by hiding location-based
- Offsets never counted as reductions
Prices you can see before you talk to anyone
Both reports on every plan, no charge per report, and no demo needed to get a number.

Questions
Do I need a Carbon Reduction Plan?
If you bid for central government contracts worth more than £5m a year, PPN 006 asks you to provide one, covering Scope 1, 2 and five Scope 3 categories, with a commitment to net zero by 2050. Many councils and large buyers ask for the same thing in smaller tenders.
Which conversion factors do you use?
The UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting published by DESNZ, loaded straight from the official flat files for 2019 to 2026, so older baseline years are covered too. Each entry uses the set for the reporting year its activity falls in, and shows the factor ID so it can be checked.
Is it suitable for SECR?
Yes. It produces the SECR table of energy use, Scope 1, 2 and transport Scope 3 emissions, an intensity ratio, a prior-year comparison and the methodology statement, ready for your directors' report.
What about carbon offsets?
We focus on measuring and reducing first, which is what PPN 006 and SECR ask for. Offsets are never counted as reductions in your reports. A vetted offsetting service is planned for later.
