Project

Recycling hard plastics

Recycling hard plastics

In this project rigid plastics, like garden furniture, buckets, crates and pipes are being recycled into high quality secondary raw materials. As a result large amounts of carbon emissions are avoided. This is due to plastic waste not being incinerated but also the materials are retained instead of producing new primary plastics. Unfortunately high costs are involved in this project and there is fierce competition of waste incineration and new primary plastics.

Impact

By investing in carbon credits from this project, you immediately contribute to continuity and scale-up, resulting in more plastic waste being recycled and reduced carbon emissions accordingly. This means your organization creates a double environmental benefit with CO2 reduction and efficient use of raw materials.

Quality

ORCA collaborates with this innovative project by taking care of the entire process from application to sales of the carbon credits. The project has been validated by the National Carbon Market Foundation standard (In Dutch: Stichting Nationale Koolstofmarkt). The carbon emission reduction of this project is analyzed by TNO, the largest independent research agency in the Netherlands and are then monitored and checked annually by DNV. As a result you can be sure of fair and high-quality carbon credits!
