Verra recently published a new resource to facilitate the development of projects under the Plastic Waste Reduction Program, which was launched in February to drive investment in plastic waste collection and recycling projects.

“Develop a Project under Verra’s Plastic Program: A Quick Guide” (PDF) provides all basic details that project proponents need to know in order to start using Verra’s Plastic Standard and generate plastic credits.

It covers:

  • Guidance for assessing whether a project is eligible under the Plastic Standard;
  • Information for estimating initial investment costs; and
  • Details about the project lifecycle and registration process.

If you have questions, please contact the Plastic Waste Reduction Program at plasticstandard@verra.org.
