CO2 revolutionwhich specializes in calculating and offsetting the carbon footprint of reforestation projects, believes that To offset the carbon footprint, a forest of 200 trees is needed. production of the Christmas lottery.

This Christmas they come into play 185 million lottery tickets, 5 million more than in 202.2. This number of tickets is printed by the National Currency and Stamp Factory, which has an increasing number of new ones. technological advances to optimize and increase your productionand also to prevent counterfeiting.

CO2 Revolution evaluated this process and concluded that Current production of this tenth amount amounts to approximately 113 tons of CO2., which is 2.7% more than in the previous year. For this calculation, the company took into account the following factors: the type of OCR paper used on the tickets, size (11 x 6.5 cm) and weight (90 g/m2).

After calculating the generated footprint, this indicates that the “optimal way compensate for this through reforestation” To achieve this, CO2 Revolution drew on its experience and industry knowledge to draw on real-life examples of the lands on which it operates to conduct CO2 offset assessment created through this production.

CO2 Revolution presents not only an assessment of the trees needed, but also ideal forest for this plantation. For this compensation, various variables were taken into account: from location, Galicia, type of settlement, density, species and optimal years of persistence. He estimates, and in accordance with the methodology approved by MITECO certification, that to offset 113 tons of CO2, it is necessary to create a mass of 200 trees, ensuring their sustainability for 35 years, with the following composition: 140 feet Pinus pinaster. atlántica, 30 feet Betula spp, 30 feet Castanea sativa. This company has placed its trust in its department, which specializes in calculations in accordance with the ISO 14064 standard.
