Enter values that use compatible units and boundaries. The calculator validates the numerical inputs and applies Recycling rate (%) = Recycled waste / Total waste generated × 100.
Variables: Recycled = Recycled waste; Generated = Total waste generated.
Example: 300 recycled units from 500 generated units gives a 60% recycling rate.
