Standards map

Designed around quality, not shortcuts.

MSW2CDR uses a standards-aware lens to avoid premature claims. The platform references waste hierarchy principles, CDR buyer criteria, MRV expectations, registry methodologies, and emerging public frameworks when assessing route readiness.

Waste hierarchy, organics management, landfill methane, composting context

National opportunity mapping for carbon removal and regional pathways

Buyer-quality lens for durable, scalable, verifiable carbon removal supply

MRV protocol and registry infrastructure for high-quality removals

Biochar and other carbon methodology references

Carbon removal methodology and project certification references

Activity requirements and climate integrity framing

European carbon removal certification framework

Compostability certification context for products and packaging

Compostability label context distinct from CDR route status

Public R&D and pilot signals for carbon-negative pathways

Scientific distinction between removals, reductions, durability, and accounting

Quality screen

Every route is reviewed through a disciplined lens.

  • Is the carbon biogenic and attributable?
  • Is the alternative fate understood?
  • Can the material be separated and measured?
  • Can contaminants, leakage, and emissions be controlled?
  • Is there a durable storage outcome?
  • What third-party methodology or verification pathway would apply?
