Sustainable Today for a better Tomorrow

UNDO Removal aims at connecting the UNDO community to literally carbon removal technologies! In an attempt to balance the amount of carbon released due to human activity, these technologies ensure the removal of atmospheric carbon and long-term storage for over 100 years in different forms such as demolished concrete, or underground sequestration! One of the most critical challenges of the present day faced by such technology-driven projects is the high cost of project execution, which can be lowered by applying the principle of economies of scale. UNDO procures high-quality, certified REMOVAL credits from individual project developers across the globe. Projects are verified by independent 3rd party agencies and follow internationally recognized benchmarks and reporting standards such as Gold standard, Puro earth, and Verra. For users, UNDO removal is a way to choose projects of their choice and be carbon-neutral by compensating their emissions every month. You can use your CO2 KGs pre-included in your monthy subscription

Just like GBs each UNDO subscription includes a certain amount KGs. Consider these as your personal emission credit that can be used to compensate your monthly emissions resulting from your smartphone use. You can find these KGs and projects in UNDO removal section Just log in to the application, assign KGs to the project you like and hit Compensate! This represents your support for the choice of projects and helps in connecting users directly to Projects at the tap of a screen.

In case your emissions are higher than the available KGs you can purchase extra KGs. You can find these add-ons by tapping on ‘SHOW ME’ in ‘Your Tariff’ section via the mobile app or web. Your KGs that remain after compensation will be carried over and added to your available quota next month.

The overall emissions displayed include the following:

(1) DEVICE – UNDO computes the emissions produced during the manufacturing of your device, taking into account whether your device is new or used. The data is gathered from environmental product reports issued by manufacturers like Apple, Huawei, and Fairphone.

(2) BATTERY CHARGING – UNDO estimates your daily power consumption and resulting emissions based on how much time your device spends under charge.

(3) TELECOM USAGE – The energy consumed by the network to provide you with services such as calls, text messages, and data is calculated by UNDO according to your number of calls, SMS, and GBs used.

(4) ONBOARDING & ACTIVATION – UNDO also factors in the one-time emissions resulting from the ordering and activation of your UNDO SIM card.

Your CO2 emissions are a result of using your smartphone on a daily basis.  Smartphones work on various rare earth minerals such as Gold, Cobalt, Lithium, silver, and silicon. The mining of these components releases carbon into the atmosphere. Similarly, the manufacturing of the smartphone also causes emissions. As a user of smartphones, we also rely on our 4G/5G networks to make calls, surf the internet, use various applications, and occasionally send texts. These networks consume electricity to power up and function. Electricity often comes from non-renewable sources and causes emissions as well. Similarly, our phones need to be charged which again consumes electricity and causes emissions. All these sources combined lead to CO2 emissions that can be attributed to us as users.

As an UNDO user, you have the chance to contribute to the fight against climate change. Planting trees is surely one simplest ways of helping and having a direct impact. That is why each new UNDO user plants one tree upon joining by default in the UNDO Forest – a natural carbon sink. But that is not all, every UNDO user can also support emerging carbon removal technologies such as Biochaar, CCS, and Enhanced Weathering via UNDO Removal. Your monthly calculated emissions can be neutralized by assigning the same or greater number of KGs across one or more removal projects of your choosing.

UNDO Forest is a project that aims to create a natural carbon sink that will absorb and store carbon below the ground in soil. It’s 100% owned by UNDO. The project is being developed in the Democratic Republic of CONGO, near the town of Kinshasa. We work in collaboration with our partner IBI Village, which helps us with on-ground activities. The project aims to plant 25.000 trees in its 1^st phase. The concept of agro farming is applied that ensure maximum utilization of the land and turn a dry Savannah into a habitat filled with Acacia, Corn, and Manioc. Every new subscription guarantees planting 1 tree but that is not it. Under the project, users can also support additional social initiatives by adding UNDO forest add-ons to their monthly subscriptions. This way the community not only helps the planet but also helps out the local population by providing employment, and aid, much like the UN sustainable goals.

UNDO provides regular updates about the progress of the project and on ground activities via photos, videos, or even interviews of locals via our social media channels. Follow UNDO on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok to stay updated.

UNDO forest add-ons are initiatives that are aimed at improving the lives of the locals and helping quicken the plating of trees in our UNDO forest.  The projects are actually picked from the list of wishes that was put together by the locals that live nearby and help us in maintaining the trees, planting new ones or even building firewalls to protect our precious forest from burning down in natural forest fires during the dry season. These initiatives directly help improve the quality of life of the locals in the form of planting more trees, providing medical aid for local families, educational support for their children, or even buying consumable farming tools, or preserving important members of the biodiversity such as bees!
