What does retired mean?
When a Fenton item is “retired,” that particular item (a unique combination of mould, glass color/treatment, shape, and, if applicable, decoration) will not be made again. We might use the mould to make a different color or we might use different moulds with the same color or decoration. Fenton Art Glass supplies its dealers with updated listings of “retired” items as well as special stickers to put on these pieces when they are offered for sale.
Many people and businesses want to offset their GHG emissions for specific activities (for instance, vacation or business travel) or in total (to make claims about being carbon neutral). To do so, CRTs can be purchased and applied against some emissions. In so doing, the CRTs are retired so that they cannot be used to offset any other emissions. The Reserve retires these CRTs by permanently placing them in a locked retirement account, thereby precluding their further trade to any other party.
