Carbon offsets support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions to balance out an individual or organization's carbon footprint. By purchasing offsets, emissions are offset elsewhere through initiatives like renewable energy and reforestation, contributing to the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.
Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. It involves reducing emissions as much as possible and offsetting remaining emissions through measures such as carbon capture or supporting projects that remove CO2, aiming for overall neutrality in emissions.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) refers to the concept that manufacturers or producers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their products, including their disposal. EPR services and compliance regulations ensure that producers manage the collection, recycling, and proper disposal of their products to minimize their environmental impact and encourage sustainable practices.
Plastic credits are a market-based solution that aims to reduce plastic pollution and promote recycling. Similar to carbon offsets, plastic credits quantify the amount of plastic waste that is prevented from entering the environment or is recycled. By purchasing plastic credits, individuals or organizations support initiatives that tackle plastic waste and contribute to a more sustainable plastic ecosystem.
Carbon credits are a market-based approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They represent a unit of measurement that quantifies the reduction, avoidance, or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent. By purchasing carbon credits, individuals or organizations can offset their own emissions and support projects that contribute to global climate change mitigation.
A pollution advisory is a notification or warning issued by authorities to inform the public about harmful levels of pollution in the air, water, or environment. It provides guidance on precautions to be taken to minimize exposure and health risks, as well as recommendations for reducing pollution sources and improving air quality.
