UNDO spreads crushed basalt rock on agricultural land, enhancing soil health while removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a process called enhanced rock weathering. Enhanced rock weathering is a nature-based carbon removal technology that permanently locks away CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Enhanced Rock Weathering – UK

UNDO are a UK based company scaling enhanced rock weathering with the aim of removing 1 billon tonnes of carbon by 2030. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a highly scalable carbon removal technology that locks up CO2 for 100,000+ years, and UNDO are now delivering enhanced rock weathering projects in the US, UK, and Australia. UNDO's approach to scaling this carbon removal technology has attracted the support of Stripe.

UNDO Enhanced Rock Weathering 

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a highly scalable carbon removal technology that locks up CO2 for 100,000+ years. Rainwater contains CO2 from the atmosphere. When it rains the CO2 interacts with silicate rocks such as basalt, locking it up as a solid bicarbonate, where it’s stored. However, natural rock weathering takes hundreds of thousands of years and there really is no time to wait. UNDO enhances and accelerates this process by using crushed basalt, which has a greater surface area, and spreading it on agricultural land.

E-waste reached 61.5 million tons last year, and it is projected to hit 74.7 million by 2030*. Around 60-90% is mismanaged or illegally traded, ending up in developing regions lacking e-waste management infrastructure, like West Africa and certain parts of Asia*. This poses serious environmental and health threats. It is thus crucial to adopt business models encouraging e-waste recycling. Here's where Closing the Loop seizes the opportunity.

By using targeted interventions, trees previously cut down but whose root ball still exists can focus their energy on the main trunk and re-grow into trees.

Nature-based solutions are now recognised as a key element of tackling climate change. Justdiggit, restores desertified, dry land using proven techniques including rainwater harvesting (digging bunds, or ‘earth smiles’) and tree restoration (Kisiki Hai, Farmer Managed Natural Restoration). All projects are owned and implemented by communities that live off the land.
