The Appliance Recycling Group and Bloom ESG will work on the joint initiative to develop the carbon certificates, technically known as “insets”.
The insets will be based on the avoided emissions from extending product lifecycles of WEEE through reuse.
The pilot phase is scheduled to launch in May 2025, with initial carbon certificates expected to be issued by September 2025.
James Farmer, founder of The Appliance Recycling Group, said: “Our partnership is founded on a shared vision: to make carbon savings tangible, measurable, and certifiable at scale.
“By combining our expertise, we are unlocking new pathways for climate action and reframing how circular economy achievements are communicated—credibly and practically.”
Each certificate will represent one tonne of CO2 emissions (CO2e) avoided.
The verification process is backed by ISO 14064 certified methodology and third-party verification in line with international standards.
The programme will also feature full digital traceability in an effort to ensure transparency and accountability.
The inset certificates will be managed by Bloom ESG’s carbon inset registry to avoid double counting.
Sebastian Foot, co-founder of Bloom ESG, said: “This collaboration is not just about providing clear incentives to encourage technology re-use – it’s about system change.
“We’re building a model that rewards circular practices and empowers organisations of all sizes to contribute to net zero in a meaningful way.”
The partnership said that the demand for verifiable, locally relevant certificates is growing as the voluntary carbon market matures.
The Appliance Recycling Group currently facilitates the reuse of 60,000 electrical items a year.
