About Us

Carrot is a decentralized technology network that enables diverse stakeholder groups to work together on building a sustainable, low-carbon and inclusive circular economy.

Our Moonshot Goal

Carrot's moonshot goal is to scale global recycling rates from less than 18% to more than 90% by 2040.

Stewarded by the Carrot Foundation, the Carrot Network (“Carrot”) is a decentralized technology platform that aligns incentives, fosters collaboration, and scales impact. By leveraging smart contracts on a public blockchain, Carrot ensures transparent credit issuance, fair rewards distribution, and adaptive governance—building the trust layer needed to solve complex coordination challenges in environmental action. Carrot empowers every person and business to become a steward of the planet, tackling waste and climate change by rewarding good actors and putting a steep price on pollution to drive system change.

The Carrot Foundation steers network development, ensures compliance, and drives improvements, fostering a self-sustaining, community-led movement for global circularity.
