Attero, an Indian e-waste recycling company, has started offering its carbon credits to international buyers. These credits are verified under a United Nations framework, which adds a layer of credibility that many voluntary carbon credits lack. The credits come from e-waste processing, where recycling avoids emissions from landfilling and recovers valuable materials like metals and plastics. This move could open a new supply stream for buyers looking for verified credits tied to waste management. It also signals that Indian e-waste recyclers are ready to participate in global carbon markets. The key question is how the baseline emissions are calculated and whether the credits represent real, additional reductions beyond business-as-usual practices.
