🌿 Last week, our COUNT Energy Trading (Renewables) and COUNT Consultancy teams thrived in the energetic atmosphere of the Go Circular Conference in #Cologne. 🌟    🔄 This year, the development towards advanced recycled feedstocks was more evident than ever, by the noticeable presence of major petrochemical companies and their growth demand for sustainable products. The conference also focused heavily on securing funding for new technological developments, highlighting the industry's commitment to continuous innovation.     🚀 As we move forward, we are energised by the engagement from the market and challenges ahead. This has been inspired by the enthusiasm across our industry for embracing the complex journey toward sustainability.  Want to learn more about COUNT Group’s role in the energy transition?

Companies that put large volumes of #plastic into the market are required to set their Plastic Corporate Stewardship Strategies in place♻. The scope of these strategies is broad, considering from #productdesign to actions along the #valuechain 🚢.   As the supply of recycled feedstock strains before a growing demand, #plasticcredits are an opportunity for companies in the #plasticvaluechain to contribute to developing plastic collecting and recycling infrastructure.   Ideally, plastic credit buyers should get credits coming from Projects in the same regions of their operations, recycling the same plastic waste streams generated by their activities, ensuring a direct link between the two. This comes along with actions to reduce their plastic consumption, return and reuse schemes, etc. There is a lot to say and discuss. Interested? Reach out to COUNT Group to know more!

🌍 Next week in #Ottawa, UN treaty negotiations will resume with the goal of establishing a legally binding solution to end plastic pollution. Key topics include the role of plastic credits in promoting a circular economy.    🔄 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬?  Each Plastic Credit represents one ton of plastic waste collected or recycled from the environment. Organisations like Verra developed a strict methodology to ensure the integrity and traceability of these credits, allowing plastic companies to finance projects that tackle their specific plastic streams in their regions of operation, improving the management of waste plastic.       🚮 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭  Plastic Credits support everything from informal waste collectors to advanced recycling facilities, addressing the waste management value chain. It improves overall working conditions for waste collectors, while contributing to developing recycling technologies for hard-to-recycle plastics that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated. This year, The World Bank has leveraged this mechanism by issuing a Plastic-Credits-Based bond that supports projects in #Ghana and #Indonesia.    💡 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐬𝐞  Plastic Credits should be used as part of a broader Plastic Mitigation Strategy. They serve as a commitment to the circular economy and support recycling technologies and projects that have been verified by a third party.     🔍 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲: 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠   At COUNT Consultancy, we specialise in helping advanced recyclers maximise the financial benefits of plastic credits.
