My effort in making selling online as clean as possible

E-commerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why I've decided to support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.

I use an app called Shopify Planet to do this, and so do a lot of other businesses that use Shopify to run their online stores.

Together with these other participating businesses, we have…

• Removed more than thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• Provided carbon-neutral shipping for more than millions of orders

Here's how it works

For every order I receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of my revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon my shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.

Meet a few of the companies removing carbon from the sky

Heirloom

Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.

 

Remora

Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.

 

Charm

Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and safely stores it deep underground—out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
