Example entry is shown in first row (GREEN Italics). <br />(B) Choose the appropriate material and disposal method from the drop down options. For the average -data method, use one of the mixed material types, such as mixed <br />MSW. If the exact waste material is not available, consider an appropriate proxy. For example, dimensional lumber can be used as a proxy for wood furniture. <br />(C) Choose an appropriate disposal method. Note that not all disposal methods are available for all materials. If there is a #NA or # Value error in the emissions column, you must pick a <br />new material type or appropriate disposal method. <br />Table 1.
