2-

Carbon Offset and Compensation, zeroing of the quantities of greenhouse gases produced through environmental compensation activities (energy use, technological efficiency, reforestation);

3-

Zero Emission, proof of zero greenhouse gas emissions from daily activities related to energy, gas and transport consumption;

BambooPro: agriculture of the future

BambooPro is a young and enterprising company, which has made sustainability a real lifestyle. Despite being born a few years ago, it has been characterized by the tenacious commitment and constant support of its customers to realize its mission: to transform part of the Italian bamboo plantations into mitigation projects.

Thanks to a blockchain mechanism, BambooPro generates carbon dioxide compensation certificates for companies that want to contribute by financing a bamboo forest.

Why bamboo? The choice of this cultivation finds oriental inspirations, in these territories its use is in fact customary for a variety of areas: from the textile to the architectural sector, from bioplastics to paper. In addition, one of the most relevant features of this plant is its sustainability. Thanks to its deep roots, it is able to propagate rapidly in the soil and the amount of carbon it can purify is about sixteen times higher than trees.

Bamboo plantations also have several environmental benefits, not only does it help with climate mitigation, but they promote wildlife protection and use less water resources.

Grifo Marchetti and BambooPro: the collaboration of the future

Every reality can make its contribution because even the smallest gestures can make a big difference on our Earth. Grifo Marchetti and BambooPro know this well, and with determination and commitment they create projects for environmental sustainability.

Grifo Marchetti, located in Piadena Drizzona, after years of attention to the environmental problem, has joined the BambooPro program, mitigating its greenhouse gas emissions with 20,000 kg of CO2.

Grifo Marchetti has decided to support this project for its originality and for the philosophy of BambooPro. The company is in fact firmly opposed to all greenwashing practices that see the tendency to imprint marketing strategies on sustainability, to deceive the consumer of environmental commitment.

The BambooPro project is instead certified by token, a digital document released by the Blockchain platform that presents a unique code, linked to the plantation associated with the mitigation project. The reliability of these certifications is also guaranteed by the patronage received by Legambiente, the most important environmental association in Italy.
