Not a very accessible calculator, but lots of related information in all kinds of situations.
Needs about five minutes. In several languages, for all countries. For individuals. Very well done, intelligent questions and selective answers. Looks quite realistic, and offers all kind of advice and background information. Beautifully designed.

Short (five minutes) or long version possible. Colourful website with good design and thoughtful questions. The website states: Data modelled by the Stockholm Environmental Institute, which could explain why this calculator feels professional.
OUR RUNNER-UP!----
Most calculators above are suited for private households only. There are some services, free or paid, that offer an estimate for businesses.
Because of the multiversity of data in the professional field, research and a good advice will need an investment in time. Businesses can save energy and reduce their waste on a wide scope. The choices to be made are far-reaching, the savings can be substantial.
Recyclus will analyze your specific situation and advise you with tailor-made solutions.
