Do you trust that new carbon-sequestering materials are durable enough for long-term public infrastructure use?

Verde Resources announced it has successfully completed third-party verification for an Environmental Product Declaration for its engineered biochar. WAP Sustainability conducted the comprehensive life cycle assessment required to secure this certification.

Why it matters

The new verification provides infrastructure owners and customers with a standardized, objective basis to evaluate the climate impact of biochar. This data is essential for the company to support its commercialization initiatives and global licensing strategies.

Verde Resources is supported by a 10-year Master Commercialization and Collaboration Agreement with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions. The company also maintains a partnership with Isometric for carbon removal certification.

The players

Verde Resources

A St. Louis-based firm focused on the production and commercialization of engineered biochar.

WAP Sustainability

A consulting firm that provides life cycle assessments and environmental reporting services.

Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions

An asphalt provider that entered into a long-term commercialization agreement with Verde Resources.

Highway International Private Limited

A global infrastructure partner that provides specialized asphalt surfaces for high-performance applications.

The details

The verification process relied on a life cycle assessment performed by WAP Sustainability to ensure standardized reporting of environmental impacts. Verde Resources is now applying these results to collaborations with Highway International, including planned pilots for airfield and road pavement solutions.

2008: Highway pioneered specialized asphalt for the Singapore Formula 1 circuit.
April 2026: Verde engaged WAP Sustainability and Isometric.
July 2026: Verde entered a 10-year agreement with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions.
August 2026: Verde announced a strategic collaboration with Highway International.
October 2026: Verde finalized the Environmental Product Declaration verification.

Roadmap

This development reflects a wider shift toward integrating sustainable materials into high-performance infrastructure and motorsport surfaces. The move positions Verde Resources to compete by leveraging verified environmental data against traditional, legacy asphalt applications.

For infrastructure managers and builders, this verified data simplifies the procurement process for climate-conscious projects. Drivers and pilots may eventually encounter these biochar-enhanced surfaces on local roads or airfields as the pilot programs scale.

The takeaway

Standardized environmental reporting is becoming a prerequisite for companies looking to enter the heavy infrastructure market. As verification becomes the norm, firms that provide transparent, third-party data will likely have a significant advantage in securing long-term government and corporate contracts.
