Frequently Asked Questions
We are happy to answer any questions you may have, but first check to see if your question has already been answered here.
How does the use of secondary materials save CO₂?
CO₂ emissions are reduced if we replace the primary raw material with secondary materials. When secondary material is used as an industrial input, for example, in the paper and board industry, CO₂ emissions are reduced by up to 40% on average.
How do you guarantee that a product incorporates recycled material?
Every tonne of secondary material used in a product gets a unique digital footprint. Thanks to enhanced transparency, KWOTA can ensure that we create carbon credits based only on CO₂ reduction quantities that have reached production.
Is CO₂ reduction trustworthy?
At KWOTA, we have developed a verification process to accurately measure and verify the quantity, quality, and origin (collection, transportation, and manufacturer) of the secondary material moving to the production facility. KWOTA CO₂ reduction figures are based on the verified flow of secondary materials input to production. Calculations are conservative and science-based, following the KWOTA Standard, and audited by a third party.
Shouldn’t CO₂ removal credits be the preferred option?
At KWOTA, we believe that prevention is the best solution to any problem. Science-based assessments tell us that only investing in CO₂ removal credits will not keep us on the 1.5-degree course stipulated by the Paris Agreement. Firstly, significant investment in activities that reduce CO₂ emissions is necessary. Our CO₂ reduction is accurate, verifiable, and cannot be reversed.
How does KWOTA avoid double counting?
We have eliminated the possibility of double counting. KWOTA creates tokens based on actual data, each with a unique serial number. Each KWOTA token represents at least one gram of CO₂ reduction and is retired upon sale, preventing double-counting.
There is no uniform standard for measuring and validating CO₂ reductions.
KWOTA has created a global standard for digital verification of CO₂ reduction from material recycling. We can offer a reliable service operating on the same basis throughout the world.
