Waste Management

Gold Standard provides a methodology for projects seeking to quantify GHG Emissions Reductions from manure management activities

In nature, rubbish does not exist. The waste from one organism is an energy source for another. We aim to help make this become true in communities around the world.

 

THE GOLD STANDARD DIFFERENCE

Instead of being an environmental hazard, solid waste can be a source of energy to fuel sustainable economic growth. Gold Standard projects support innovative processes like composting, anaerobic digestion, and even incineration to help towns and cities gain energy independence.

Likewise, Gold Standard projects help major waste management installations such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants and manure management processes yield sources of energy generation from what could otherwise pollute local environments.

Finally, recycling, recovery & reuse of plastics, metal and paper not only reduces waste to landfill, they also lower global emissions.
