The proposed methodology applies to project activities that produce chemical products using raw materials derived from the chemical depolymerization of waste plastics. GHG emissions are avoided by diverting plastics from incineration and substituting fossil-based virgin feedstocks with recycled equivalents.
Summary of Development
- On March 29, 2026, the development of this methodology was rejected per the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (PDF). After careful review, Verra determined that the proposal’s climate impact was not as high as that of other ideas. Verra will therefore not proceed this approach to the full methodology development process at this time.
