Formula

How this calculator works

This formula converts source operating values into waste per occupied room for quick review.

Waste POR = Total Waste Generated ÷ Occupied Room Nights
Context

Why this metric matters

Can be total waste, landfill only, or food waste only. State stream and unit.

Hotel insight

Industry context

  • Can be total waste, landfill only, or food waste only. State stream and unit.
  • Small changes in denominator rules can move the result, so keep the same reporting basis when comparing periods.
Operational notes

Before you act on the number

  • 3,276 kg ÷ 2,730 = 1.20 kg/POR
  • Confirm whether internal-use, complimentary, adjustment, or excluded activity should be included before comparing periods.
  • Use this result as an operating guide and review it with the supporting business context.
