THE SCOPE 3 PROBLEM
ESG disclosures are growing,
ESG disclosures are growing,
but Scope 3 has no method for calculation
Scope 3 (value-chain emissions) faces the greatest disclosure pressure and the hardest quantification challenge.
IT asset disposal is one of the few areas where reduction is large, quantifiable, and recurs each year.
Large reduction impact
Reusing one device displaces one new production. Emissions equal to the manufacturing stage are avoided.
Quantifiable
Category, quantity, and processing path are explicit, so reductions can be calculated by a formal methodology.
Recurs every year
IT asset turnover is periodic. Once the framework is in place, reductions accumulate year over year.
METHODOLOGY
Our own methodology, MC03-003
Methodology for greenhouse-gas reduction through E-Waste recycling. Registered December 2024, backed by patent (No. 10-2622975).

FLAGSHIP CASE / First in Korea
FLAGSHIP CASE / First in Korea
Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF)
Context
Korea Housing Finance Corporation needed to sell IT assets at end of life. The conventional approach was a plain sale to the highest bidder.
Solution
Greeny System proposed pairing the purchase price with the greenhouse-gas reductions generated by reusing and recycling those assets — delivered to HF as third-party-verified carbon credits (VRCs).
Outcome
HF secured both proceeds from the IT asset sale and carbon-reduction records usable for ESG disclosure. The first case in Korea to combine carbon credits with public-institution IT asset acquisition.
"Selling IT assets turned into a carbon-reduction record."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Reductions from asset processing are calculated under the MC03-003 methodology and issued as credits after third-party verification by Korea Foundation for Quality (KFQ). The issued credits are either transferred to your account on the POPLE registry, or provided via Retirement with your company as the beneficiary, together with the underlying reduction data.
-
Yes. They are provided as a disclosure-ready data package along with the calculation-basis report, so you can use them for sustainability reports, CDP, and other disclosure materials.
-
The simulator provides an estimate. Actual reductions are finalized based on asset condition and processing path (reuse / recycling) and are provided as a report with calculation basis once processing is complete.
-
Credit issuance is bundled at the project level, so small volumes can also participate. We will guide you on the option that fits your asset scale during consultation.
-
The independent verifier is Korea Foundation for Quality (KFQ). Rather than self-calculated numbers, only figures that have passed third-party verification are issued as credits.
