PRESS RELEASE
LONDON – AMSTERDAM, 5th February 2025
To date, the electronics recycling industry has lacked a consistent, robust, and standardized way to measure its environmental impact. There has been no consistency in reporting, and estimates are often not based on the specific processes that individual facilities use to refurbish or recycle electronic assets. As a result, companies have been unable to utilize this data effectively to inform their sustainability strategies.
Today, Bloom ESG introduces the first ISO-14064 approved, independently verified methodology designed to bring accuracy and standardisation to avoided emissions reporting in the e-waste industry.
“The industry has been calling out for a credible, standardised methodology to report avoided emissions impact. We are delighted to enable e-waste processors with a trusted, standardised solution to report their positive impact with confidence. Our ISO-validated avoided emissions reporting framework will bring critical insights to corporates that choose to recycle their end-of-life electronics,” said Sebastian Foot, Founding Partner of Bloom ESG.
Kaviraj Singh, Founder and CEO of Earthood, the global leader in carbon offset project verification, added “we are delighted to have successfully validated this global avoided emissions methodology. Crucially, this is the first ISO-validated methodology that quantifies the net positive impact of re-using electronics.”
Amanda Ackerman, Founding Partner of Bloom ESG, highlighted the broader implications, stating, “Reliable data drives better decision-making, and urban mining offers a path to a more sustainable future. Circularity isn’t just about being environmentally responsible—it’s also about securing access to critical minerals, which is becoming an increasingly important part of many countries’ long-term growth plans.”
Bloom ESG’s methodology also covers a significantly wider range of assets and commodities than previously possible through existing calculators. The reporting solution is extensible, encompassing more than 80 electronic asset types as well as numerous circular economy commodities, including base metals and critical minerals.
This breakthrough methodology represents a significant advancement for the e-waste industry, providing a robust, transparent, and standardised framework to measure and report the environmental benefits of electronic asset recycling and reuse.
