CIRCULAR
ECONOMY
Between 2000 and 2019, plastic production reached 460 million tons, which represents 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to the OECD’s Global Plastics Outlook report, only 9% of collected plastic waste can be recycled, the rest of the plastic is incinerated, ends up in controlled and uncontrolled landfills, is burned openly or ends up in seas, rivers. and oceans. This is a global problem that worries companies, governments, and consumers around the world.
COLLECTION AND RECYCLING
PROGRAMS
To prevent significant amounts of plastic from entering the environment, especially oceans, programs have been created to encourage the collection and recycling of waste in significant quantities. The VERRA plastic program accredits projects that fulfill a variety of plastic collection and recycling activities. At the same time, it promotes investment in projects that increase the collection and/or recycling of plastic waste. These projects are audited by independent entities to determine the extent to which they have reduced plastic waste. The program issues credits based on the volume of plastic collected and/or recycled above the baseline. These credits are then put on the market to leverage private sector capital into projects that remove plastic from the environment.
