Sparta Group’s Yearly Carbon Credit Verification Process Underway

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2023 / Sparta Group (TSXV:SAY) (the "Corporation", the "Company", "Sparta Group", "Sparta Capital", "SAY.V" or "Sparta") is confirming that it has just entered into its 2022 carbon credit verification process, and while the Company won't know the total amount of carbon credits it generated throughout the year for at least another four to six weeks, staff is excited about the process as they onboard more customers eager to take advantage of the program.

Sparta's ERS International officially introduced its carbon credit program to the public in the fall of 2022, after being certified by a third-party auditor, however; the Company can apply e-waste processing from 2021 to its program. The yearly verification process considers the previous year's generation of carbon credits. One tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere generates one carbon credit.

"We have a rough idea of how much carbon we have diverted. While we have to wait for a third-party verifier to conduct a thorough review of our program and present the final tally, we suspect we will be seeing an increase of just over 60 percent in credits generated year-over-year, and that percentage is expected to go up substantially in the coming years," said Joseph Cimorelli, Director of Global Business Development for ERS

The Canadian government set a carbon price of $50 per tonne in 2021, that is going up to $65 per tonne as of April 1, 2023. By the year 2030 the price will be $170. Therefore, if all goes as projected, Sparta's generation of carbon credits should have an estimated asset value of $13,600,000 in 2030.

Carbon offsets are designed to counter a company's carbon footprint by funding programs and carbon reduction projects that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the case of Sparta, carbon credits are generated through the upcycling of electronic waste at its ERS facility in Toronto. The carbon credits can be very attractive to businesses that have tried but just haven't been able to reach their environmental goals. In some cases, that goal is to become carbon neutral. The manufacturing sector, airlines, automotive sector, fashion, and technology sectors are among the biggest buyers of carbon credits.

In any given year, Sparta's ERS can process between two and three million pounds of e-waste.
