Turning 1.3 Billion Tons Of Food Waste Into Carbon Credits

In partnership with The Mexican Foodbanking Network, a Miami-based climate tech company, CoreZero, has developed a method to create carbon credits to reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions of food waste through the voluntary carbon market. CoreZero had quantified the prevention of 221,800 tons of carbon emissions and converted them into carbon credits. The 221,800 carbon credits are the world’s first carbon credits from food rescue. They represent the beginning of an option to offset that converts waste into value.
