One of the great climate levers still available: the circular economy

Validated byRecognitionPartnersFeatured in

We don't need everyone, just a few: the willing.

These are the 500+ operators, scientists, buyers, and institutions already building the circular economy—before it becomes easy.

Why waste methane

We are moving on waste methane because it brings results fast and at scale.

Methane drives roughly one-third of current warming — yet receives under 4% of climate funding.

Waste methane comes from food waste buried in landfills, where it rots without oxygen and releases a superpollutant for decades. Sorted and treated, that methane is never released.

The proof on the ground.

With the coalition behind it, the network can accelerate — from 4 accredited composting facilities today to 18 still this year, targeting 281,619.98 tonnes of CO₂e prevented. Every batch they process is measured, verified, and public.

In just four months, the credits began to make a real difference for our business. We were able to replace our truck's tires, which brought greater safety to our driver and peace of mind to me. This extra cash came at the perfect time and truly impacted our work.

A public ledger for collaborative funding.

Each verified recovery—and its resulting reduction in GHG emissions—becomes a public record, unlocking funding for the people who did the work. They receive at least 80% of the proceeds.

This is about the world our kids will inherit

When people work together as communities to transform waste into resources, they create a public good — one that is not valued and remains unbanked until we change that.

The future we want for our children is fundable.
