Verra is extending the project validation deadline for projects seeking registration with the Plastic Waste Reduction Program.
For projects with a start date between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, project proponents will now have until June 30, 2024, to complete validation and request registration. The previous deadline was December 31, 2023.
This announcement supersedes the requirement in Section 3.5.2 of the Plastic Standard, v1.0 (PDF).
Projects with a start date on or after January 1, 2022, still must complete validation within two years of the project start date, per Section 3.5.3 of the Plastic Standard (PDF), which remains unchanged.
Please contact plasticstandard@verra.org with any questions.
