Scope

The BOLD Recycling MvF defines verification procedures for organic waste diversion from landfills to composting facilities:

  • Waste types: Food waste, green waste (garden, yard, and park trimmings), sludge from waste treatment plants, tobacco industry residues, and other organic subtypes classified under CDM waste codes
  • Treatment: Aerobic composting at professional facilities
  • Geography: Currently operational in Brazil, with the framework designed to be expandable to other regions with compatible waste classification systems

Eligibility criteria

Participants must meet accreditation requirements:

  • Waste generators — Must be identified with valid documentation. Accreditation dates are optional.
  • Haulers — Required for truck and boat transport; optional for sludge pipe and cart collection.
  • Processors — Exactly one processor must be identified per MassID.
  • Recyclers — Exactly one recycler (composting facility) must be identified with valid accreditation dates.
  • Network Integrators — Must have valid accreditation dates.

Verification requirements

The framework specifies verification checks across the full supply chain:

  • Document validation — MassID structure, type, unit, and value
  • Actor identification — Presence and identity of all required participants
  • Event validation — Weighing, sorting, drop-off, and composting cycle data
  • Geolocation — Address matching between events and accredited locations
  • Manifests — Required transport and recycling documentation
  • Compliance — Regional waste classification and project period validity
  • Integrity — Uniqueness checks to prevent double counting
