Circular Solutions, Proven Results: 11,426 mtCO₂e Generated in 2024 Through the E-Carbon Program

We are proud to announce that through our E-Carbon Program, ERS has completed and issued serialized carbon credits for 2024, generating over 11,426 metric tons of CO₂e through the power of reuse, refurbishment, and recycling.This milestone is not just a statistic. It represents more than a decade of dedication, innovation, and accountability, proving that circular strategies are one of the most effective and measurable pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A Decade of Measurable Impact

‍Since 2013, ERS has been quantifying and generating carbon credits through responsible electronics recovery. Over the years, we have built a strong record of performance, showing that extending the life of devices, recovering valuable materials, and keeping products in circulation generates real climate benefits.The 2024 issuance continues this legacy, reinforcing the growth of the E-Carbon Program and its role in helping partners meet sustainability targets while protecting the environment.

Why Circular Carbon Credits Matter

‍Traditional offset programs often rely on projections or activities that take years to deliver impact. In contrast, the E-Carbon Program focuses on avoided emissions generated today through circular strategies.

• Reuse extends the lifespan of devices, eliminating the need for new manufacturing.
• Refurbishment restores functionality and value, keeping electronics in circulation.
• Recycling recovers critical resources, reducing demand for mining and refining.

Together, these activities generate verifiable carbon credits tied directly to avoided emissions, ensuring tangible and immediate climate benefits.

Verified With Integrity

‍The issuance of over 11,426 mtCO₂e in 2024 reflects both scale and rigor.

• Data Accuracy: Credits are tied directly to recovery volumes and established methodologies.
• Independent Verification: Each credit undergoes a rigorous process to ensure transparency and credibility.
• Stakeholder Confidence: Partners can confidently integrate these credits into ESG disclosures, sustainability reports, and climate strategies.

This rigorous process underscores ERS’s commitment to protecting the environment and delivering measurable value to all stakeholders.

Putting the Numbers in Perspective

‍According to the U.S. EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, generating over 11,426 mtCO₂e in 2024 is equivalent to:

• The annual emissions of 2,665 gasoline-powered cars
• The energy use of 1,534 homes in one year
• Burning 12.7 million pounds of coal
• Carbon sequestered by 188,930 tree seedlings grown for 10 years

These comparisons highlight the tangible impact of the E-Carbon Program.

Why This Matters

‍For more than a decade, ERS’s E-Carbon Program has proven that circularity is a reliable and measurable pathway to carbon reduction. The issuance of over 11,426 mtCO₂e in 2024 underscores:

• Value for Partners: Verifiable credits that strengthen ESG reporting and climate commitments.
• Trust for Stakeholders: Rigorous transparency and accountability across the entire process.
• Impact for the Planet: Preventing emissions at the source and supporting global climate goals.

Looking Ahead

‍The issuance of over 11,426 mtCO₂e in 2024 builds on more than ten years of measurable impact. As reuse, refurbishment, and recycling expand, the E-Carbon Program will continue to scale, delivering even greater environmental benefits.This milestone is not the finish line, but momentum for the future. Together with our partners and stakeholders, ERS will continue to demonstrate that the future of electronics is not only circular but also carbon accountable.
