Measurement & MRV

While most food waste emissions estimates use industry averages, our custom AI-powered platform quantifies emissions specific to food type, geographic location, and disposal method.

AI and LLMs classify food vs. non-food, analyze dry matter content, and model avoided methane with precision.

Technology factors in emissions associated with packaging, transportation, electricity, and leakage.

Fully aligned with Verra VM0046, incorporating USDA, EPA, & global databases.
