1	If a company has some sites using smart scales and some sites without smart scales, but the company users still want to log waste data using H5 at the sites without smart scales, what should I do?	With the "Smart Scale" function activated, you can add logs either manually or through smart scales. For sites without smart scales, you can simply add logs manually.
2	Waste categories and types are configured at the company/portfolio level. Do I need to manually select the applicable waste categories and types for each site?	No. When adding a new waste type at the company/portfolio level, it is selected by default for all sites. Only when a site determines that a certain waste type is not applicable does it need to be deselected.
3	Do I need to reconfigure waste categories and types when deploying a new site?	No, when a site is initialized, all waste types and corresponding categories under that customer will be selected by default. The site only needs to deselect a waste type if it is not required.
4	The waste module does not have carbon emission factor setting functionality. How can I view carbon emissions related to waste?	Currently, all carbon emission calculation functions are implemented in the Carbon Emissions Management module. If you need to calculate carbon emissions related to waste, you need to enable the corresponding function in the carbon emission management module, associate waste types with activity types when setting up at the company/portfolio level, and configure the corresponding emission factors. The system will automatically calculate carbon emissions based on the amount of waste generated by each site.
