Gold Standard is seeking feedback on this this methodology.
It is applicable to projects that implement activities for the recovery and recycling of metals, alloys, and minerals. These activities lead to the reintroduction of valuable materials from end-of-life waste back into the economy, substituting the use and production of virgin materials, thereby leading to reduced resource and energy consumption and avoidance of associated greenhouse gas emissions.
The methodology builds on the existing CDM methodologies “AMS-III.AJ. Recovery and recycling of materials from solid waste” and “AMS-III.BA. Recovery and recycling of materials from e-waste” but includes a wider range of materials as well as the possibility for applicability in Annex 1 countries.
