Innovating for a Low-Carbon 

The project's main objective is to bring together up to 10,000 customer facilities in a "sustainable community" to reduce GHG emissions from low emitters that account for nearly 70% of Quebec's GHGs & for which reductions are unaffordable for most. Pioneering & innovative, this is the first project to develop a new world-class methodology (VM0018) to benefit these micro-projects from the carbon credit mechanism.

The Sustainable Community Solution targets to preserve economic prosperity, develop a positive attitude toward climate change, & transform the way we do business while protecting the environment.

Turning Small Actions into Major Climate Impact

This project aggregates & quantifies small GHG reduction efforts to convert them into high-quality carbon credits. It includes energy-efficient buildings, fuel switching, & diverting industrial and commercial waste from landfills through composting or recycling.

The Sustainable Community brings together SMEs & local governments, often excluded from climate action, by providing them access to voluntary carbon markets and green financing. Since its launch, 8.1 million tonnes of GHGs have been reduced. By promoting eco-friendly practices, it bridges the gap between economic profitability & environmental responsibility.

Origins of the project

The company provides the possibility for small organisations, businesses municipalities to engage in the voluntary carbon market by converting their GHG reduction efforts into carbon credits. In doing so, they are rewarding individuals, companies communities who are advocates of sustainable development.

Will Solutions’ social philosophy is based on giving back; 80% of carbon revenues are dedicated to the SMEs, NPOs and initiators of the reduction micro-projects. As well, 10% of their net profits are given to local projects initiatives that further support sustainable development. They are a BCorp certified company.

The evolution of the project


In August 2023, ClimateSeed visited Will Solutions, active in the VCS carbon market since 2013. Will Solutions integrates new projects and seeks SMEs to join its sustainable community. ClimateSeed discovered innovative waste diversion projects aimed at avoiding methane emissions and reducing Scope 3 emissions from suppliers.

First company

Electronic waste 

Often, electronic waste ends up in landfills or is burned for energy production, which is not a sustainable solution. A pioneer in its field in North America, the company offers a recycling program to its customers & suppliers, with a zero-landfill policy.

It reuses 96-98% of materials that would otherwise be discarded or burned. With an innovative machine, the company separates and recycles electronic components that others cannot make circular. The materials recycled include cardboard bales, plastic films, styrofoam, various plastics, stainless steel, copper, gold, aluminum, and used toner powder and cartridges. The passion for innovation and climate change makes this company particularly inspiring.

Second company

Food waste triage company 

Specializing in the recycling, collection, and upcycling of by-products and production surpluses from medium and large food producers, the company contributes to a green and circular economy.

Founded in 1996, it is now one of Canada's leaders in transforming agri-food by-products into high-quality livestock feed, such as flour, bread, grains, and chocolate. During the visit, seeing a mountain of chips, pretzels, and individually wrapped candy waste might make you rethink indulging in sweets. Over half of Canada's food production is lost or wasted. This project helps companies turn their organic waste into profit and a positive environmental impact.

Success Story

 

Will acts as a facilitator for us in the voluntary carbon credits market. We only need to respond annually to various requests (volume, production, consumption) regarding our activities, and they take care of the rest, like a turnkey solution.
