The authors estimated that UK adoption of the Pee-in-Pot for microscopy and culture could save about 349 tonnes CO2e annually. The base-case Pee-in-Pot testing footprint was estimated at 95 g CO2e, compared with 270 g CO2e for standard-of-care testing. All modelled scenarios found lower greenhouse gas emissions for Pee-in-Pot testing than for sterile plastic testing. The carbon footprint assessment used a process-based life-cycle assessment aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard.
