Project details

Describe your product and your key goals

<aside> <img src="/icons/apple_blue.svg" alt="/icons/apple_blue.svg" width="40px" /> Describe your product Alternative Materials Certificate (AMC) is a transferable unit representing the environmental benefits of producing one metric ton of biodegradable and biobased alternative materials from renewable sources. By monetizing the environmental attributes of alternative materials and creating a market for these attributes, PCX Solutions aims to incentivize manufacturers and consumers to transition away from single-use plastics. The AMC serves as a financial tool to bridge the gap between the higher upfront costs of alternative materials and the long-term environmental benefits they provide.
