Why compensate?

The Carbon Conundrum

Did you know that a staggering 10% of global emissions can be traced back to festivals and events? While we revel in the joy and magic of these spectacular moments, the carbon footprint they leave behind is undeniable. It's a challenge we all must face head-on, and together, we can rise to the occasion.

Circular Carbon solutions

Integrate KWOTA into your ticket sales process, allocating a small portion to promote the use of recyclable materials in product production. 80% of the funds received are directed to material producers, enhancing their involvement in recycling projects and resulting in a significant 70% reduction in CO2 emissions.

How does it work?

1

Calculate event footprint

By entering the total number of attendees expected to be present during the upcoming event and its anticipated duration, you will receive a rough estimate of your carbon footprint.

2

Partner with KWOTA

After determining the estimated carbon footprint, both parties will proceed to sign a straightforward cooperation agreement to initiate your journey towards a carbon-compensated summit, event, or conference.

3

Create token tickets

Here's where the fun begins: Together, we provide event attendees with carbon-compensated tokens, powered by KWOTA, which certify both you and your guests for your contributions.

4

Follow the progress on dashboard

From there, simply sit back, relax, and follow the dashboard to track the total carbon compensations and the amount of materials recycled by your attendees.

5

Share your impact

After the event concludes, you will receive a carbon compensation certificate, complete with statistics, contributions, recycling data, and full transparency regarding the allocation of funds to the appropriate producers.

CO2 compensation source

Did you know replacing 1 tonne of raw materials with 1 tonne of recyclable materials would reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 60%? We do that by verifying and standardising the total amount of recyclable materials used during production over the use of virgin materials. We have partnered up with exemplary production companies that have decided to turn their production more sustainable.

Success story - Rally Estonia 2023

WRC Rally Estonia is proud to be a partner of KWOTA. By collaborating with KWOTA as their compensation partner, Rally Estonia in 2023 successfully compensated for 100 tonnes of carbon emissions generated during their event. This remarkable achievement was made possible through the collective efforts of spectators and event partners, all contributing to offset their individual carbon footprints. WRC Rally Estonia remains committed to continuing their partnership with KWOTA as their primary carbon compensation partner.

Why KWOTA?

Make an impact that happens immediately

In contrast to other projects, the promotion of material reuse for production results in an immediate reduction in carbon emissions. This is due to the decreased demand for raw materials, which in turn leads to the preservation of our Earth and reduces the need for machinery, logistics, and other resources to process raw materials.

Accelerate circular economy

Your contribution accelerates the circular economy as more producers are incentivized to reduce the demand for raw materials and further the increase of recyclable materials to create new goods. Supporting producers to increase their share therefore reduces waste in our landfills.

Choose a science based standard

KWOTA Standard is the first global standard for digital verification of CO₂ reduction from material recycling and increased circularity in the voluntary carbon market. KWOTA Standard, procedures and methodologies reflect the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) principles for life cycle assessment (LCA) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions quantification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you still have questions? Contact us

How long will it take from signing the agreement to receiving the first payment?

When KWOTA receives the data, It will go through an integrity check and be sent to the verification process, which will take up to one month. After the data has received confirmations from the supply chain participants, it is created into credits and placed on the marketplace. When the credit has been sold, the Producer can invoice KWOTA. For example, if the data verification is done in May and credits are also sold in May, then the Producer can invoice KWOTA in June. KWOTA creates an Invoicing summary every month for the previous month's credit sales.

How is the baseline set, and for how long is it valid?

The secondary material baseline is unique to the relevant Production Facility and its supply chain, and it depends on the recyclable secondary material and on the historical and projected activity data. It is renewed regularly and at least after three years. A secondary material baseline is recalculated and renewed when a significant change in the relevant supply chain is set up, i.e. a new production line.

Is there any risk of data leakage?

KWOTA can assure that all data is confidential to any third party. The data is used only by KWOTA for analyses and calculations to create carbon credits. Protecting our partner's data is a top priority for us. Data is securely stored only in Amazon Web Services, which meets the highest security compliance policies. Communication with KWOTA’s servers is encrypted; only authorised users can access the data.

How long are the carbon credits valid?

KWOTA creates carbon credits based on a verified CO₂ reduction at the Production Facilities. Carbon credits will expire two years after the creation date and are, therefore only available for sale for two years.

Is it expensive to compensate my CO2?

No, it costs as much as one cup of coffee to compensate 1 month of driving.

How does circularity reduce CO2 emissions?

1. When materials are recycled instead of being discarded, it reduces the need to extract, process and manufacture new materials. Meaning fewer greenhouse gases are emitted in the production process, as energy and resources are conserved.
2. Circularity can reduce emissions associated with waste disposal. Waste in landfills can produce methane - a potent greenhouse gas. Recycling can dramatically reduce this.
3. Circularity can reduce emissions associated with transportation. When materials are sources, processed and manufactured locally, it reduces the need to transport them long distance (via ship, plane etc.)

Why aren't producers recycling in the first place?

To your surprise, many within Europe are doing their best to recycle. However it's at their own cost. Recycling is much more expensive and lengthy than using virgin materials. Many production plants will work at a loss if relying on recycled materials. This is why KWOTA developed a platform to validate and standardise the amount recycled. Try our self service dashboard to see your impact.

Why should I compensate?

If you own a car, you are emitting on average 2 tons of CO2 per month. The equivalence of one 7 seater SUV. Owning an electric vehicle may not be a viable option for you just yet, but you can take accountability and fund projects that can make a difference for you.
