Changeblock is an environmental exchange that shortens the timeframe for companies to create credits, making it easier to invest in ESG and improve success for clean technology companies. Investors can gain access to groundbreaking green projects that are streamlined and verified, allowing for the creation and listing of unique credits on the Changeblock platform. The company goes beyond carbon and allows companies to create, trade, generate and gather data for environmental credits not only to mitigate carbon, but also for plastics, maritime-conservation, biological, nitrogen, sulfur, and other emissions and biodiversity assets.

FusionOne has developed proprietary technology to convert end of life plastics into hydrogen as a clean source for energy production, as well as other applications. The process is safe, scalable, and environmentally friendly, with the potential to greatly reduce plastic pollution and support the Holy Grail in environmental solutions: the circular economy.

"We are excited to be working with FusionOne to help bring their innovative solution to the market and enabling the monetization of one of the world’s largest waste streams," says Changeblock CEO Billy Richards. "Plastic waste is a major environmental problem, and we believe that the plastic credit has the potential to significantly reduce plastic pollution and support the transition to a more sustainable future."

"We are thrilled to be collaborating with Changeblock to bring the plastic credit to market," said FusionOne CEO Elliott Talbott. "This is an important step towards addressing the global plastic waste crisis and supporting the transition to a responsible circular economy. We believe that the plastic credit has the potential to drive significant change in the way that we think about and use plastic. The Changeblock platform will enable us, and other clean-tech focused companies and projects, to monetize their credit streams. This has the potential to significantly accelerate adoption of incentive-based tools and help us as a society to meet our environmental goals."
