Carrot Foundation
Carrot is a community-led technology platform missioned to accelerate the transition to a resource-efficient, low-carbon, and inclusive circular economy by scaling recycling rates from less than 10% to more than 90%. Carrot certifies recycling and issues recycling credits and carbon credits that, when purchased, distribute rewards to supply chain contributors, encouraging further participation and eliminating the cost gap between recycling and landfilling or burning.

Carrot strives to contribute by demonstrating a powerful method of catalyzing systems change that positions the Circular Economy as a fundamental pillar for global decarbonization. Our hope would be to expand our network of like minded individuals and organizations by connecting with other members who are dedicated to the SDGs that we are to identify potential synergies between our project and theirs, and find meaningful ways to collaborate.
