On behalf of Norwegian Consumer Council, NILU has conducted analyses of organic contaminants and metals in the leachate from selected coffee-cups. The simulation of the leakage is conducted based on a compilation of the methods described within NS-EN-1186-9 and NS-EN-13130-1. The instrumental analytical methods used were already established at NILU and NIVA. A number of different organic contaminants and metals have been found in trace amounts in the different products.

The Paris Agreement requires accurate accounting of greenhouse gases (GHGs) by all countries. Complementary to bottom-up emission inventories, global, regional and national GHG emissions can be estimated using atmospheric measurements and atmospheric models (the "top-down" approach). This report provides an overview of current capabilities, potential, and further perspectives to use the "top-down" approach to evaluate and improve estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in support of the Paris Agreement.
