Built around verification,
not marketing claims.
Every credit OffPlastics issues traces back to a project document, an independent auditor and a Verra registry entry.
Standard
Verra Plastic Waste
Reduction Standard
PWRM0002 v1.1 — Active methodology
OffPlastics develops projects under this Verra methodology, covering additional plastic waste recycled through:
- New recycling facilities
- Capacity additions at existing facilities
- Technology improvements enabling additional recycling
- Activities increasing plastic waste collection rates
Credit Unit
1 Waste Reduction Credit (WRC) = 1 tonne of additional plastic waste recycled
Per methodology and independent verification requirements.
Project Requirements
What every project must demonstrate
Eligibility and creditable volumes are project-specific and subject to independent validation and verification. Not every recycling activity qualifies.
Verra Process
From project design to credit issuance.
Nine stages from methodology selection through independent verification to registry issuance.
Choose Methodology
Select the applicable Verra methodology for the project type and activity.
Develop Project Description
Prepare baseline determination, additionality assessment and evidence structure.
Public Listing
Project listed for public comment period as required by the standard.
Independent Validation
Qualified third-party body validates the project design document.
Registration
Project formally registered under the Plastic Waste Reduction Standard.
Monitoring
Ongoing data collection, mass-balance records and MRV systems.
Verification
Verified Body independently confirms monitoring period data.
Verra Approval
Verra reviews the verification report and approves for issuance.
Credit Issuance
WRCs issued to the project registry account and available for transfer.
MRV Discipline
Operational data converted into auditable evidence.
OffPlastics works directly with recyclers to implement standardised monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems. Every tonne claimed is traceable to purchase invoices, weighing records, production data and third-party verification reports.
Mass-Balance Records
Feedstock in, recyclate out, residuals tracked.
Historical Fate Analysis
Baseline determination from prior disposal route.
Additionality Evidence
Demonstrates credit activity is above business-as-usual.
Verification Body Review
Qualified independent auditor confirms all data.
