Morristown, New Jersey-based waste management company Reworld has launched ReCredit, a program designed to help customers achieve their net-zero goals through the purchase of sustainable carbon offsets.
Reworld says it processes nearly 10 percent of the United State’s refuse, reducing net carbon emissions by avoiding methane-generating landfills. The company adds that its effort prevents more than 40 million metric tons of greenhouse gases annually, equivalent to the amount sequestered by 48 million acres of forest—and area spanning eight U.S. states.

ReCredit is one of several solutions introduced by Reworld in its April rebrand, designed to support businesses in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing toward net-zero. This partner program strengthens its relationships and offers exclusive ReCredits to preferred Reworld partners.
To qualify for this program, Reworld partners must demonstrate dedicated sustainability goals with tangible results. Its inaugural member is Gainesville, Florida-based cleantech company Carbonxt.
“Reworld is committed to reimagining waste as a resource through reducing, reusing, recycling, recovering and renewing materials,” Reworld Chief Strategy and Growth Officer Gagan Sood says. “This approach keeps waste out of landfills and helps our partners reach their decarbonization goals faster.”
Carbonxt CEO Regina Rodriguez says the company’s focus is on achieving optimal environmental outcomes for the carbon it produces.
“Our collaboration with Reworld represents a significant stride in fulfilling this dedication to sustainability stewardship,” she says. “Initiatives like ReCredit are instrumental in helping us manage our Scope 1 and 2 goals effectively to make meaningful progress towards net-zero and set a precedent for others in the industry to follow.”
