Circular Economy Certification
Programme
Closing the loop with verified impact
In partnership with
Cercarbono certifies circular economy projects that reduce waste, extend product lifecycles, and cut resource use – turning systems change into outcome-based credits.
From community reuse schemes to large-scale industrial redesign, the programme gives developers a clear route to market. Every credit is recorded on EcoRegistry for full transparency.
What sets the programme apart
The Circular Economy Certification Programme is built on three guiding principles that ensure every credit is trusted and meaningful.
We start with impact, certifying only what can be measured – from materials recovered to waste prevented. Projects follow approved methodologies and independent verification, so results stand up to scrutiny.
Transparency runs through the process: every credit is issued on EcoRegistry and backed by open documentation.
Strong safeguards are in place to prevent harm, while social inclusion is built in – recognising the communities and workers driving circular change on the ground.
