Scaling circular economies
through climate and
impact financing
Why Circular Economy?
The world faces a climate crisis.
However, solving for carbon emissions alone ignores the other economic, social, and environmental challenges that need to be tackled for a just transition.
We believe that circular economy models give the tools to fight carbon emissions while also creating new systems that benefit people, business, and the natural world.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 45% of existing greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through the pursuit of circular economy models. Read more
According to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we only have 10 years left to transform our social and economic systems to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Read more
We have no time to waste.
What Defines
Circular Economy?
The circular economy is based on three principles:
1
Eliminate waste and pollution
Reduce waste, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose products.
2
Circulate products and materials
Keep materials in use, as a product or as raw components when they can no longer be used.
3
Regenerate nature
Support natural processes and leave more room for nature to thrive.
What will it take to move away from our linear economy toward one where waste is eliminated, resources are circulated, and nature is regenerated?
What We Do
We focus on scaling circular economies through carbon credit financing.
We work with circular economy organizations to:
Develop carbon methodologies
Develop efficient and affordable monitoring, reporting and verification protocols
Market and sell quality carbon credits
Example Projects
Regen Organics
Regen Organics collects, treats, and converts organic waste streams into regenerative agricultural and energy products such as organic fertilizer, insect protein for animal feed, and sustainable ecofuels.
Circular Impact is working with Regen Organics on several carbon projects focused on its proprietary organic waste upcycling process, biochar production, and regenerative farming applications.
Fresh
Life
Fresh Life works with municipalities, utilities, and residents to deliver safe, equitable, and sustainable sanitation solutions in booming cities.
Circular Impact is working with Fresh Life to register its first carbon project focused on its novel sanitation solution.
Notice of Supply Chain (Scope 3) Emissions
Carbon credits may be issued through Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project #4015 for the greenhouse gas emission reductions associated with Sanergy’s activities in producing compost and compressed fuel briquettes.
Please contact commercialops@circularimpact.io should you have any queries or concerns related to Sanergy’s composting grouped project registered with the VCS.
