What the 13 factor pages say

One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.

From 1.19 (Aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers (including rigid or collapsible tubular containers), for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity not exceeding 300 litres, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment, EU CBAM) to 7.63 (screw cap (aluminium + PE seal / tin) - 4.8g, ADEME) kgCO₂e per kg. 3 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per JPY · 4 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.002
From 0.00383 (Paperboard container manufacturing, Open CEDA) to 0.00857 (Plastics bottle manufacturing, Open CEDA) kgCO₂e per JPY.

Per CAD

OpenIO-Canada puts Paperboard containers at 0.635 kgCO₂e/CAD (Cradle to gate, 2022), the only factor page in this unit.
