We clean up after ourselves
E-commerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. We have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.
Here's how it works
For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our 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 our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Let's meet a few of the companies removing our shipping emissions
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. Their device will act like a giant filter, using carbon scrubbing technology to filter CO2out of the exhaust. The captured CO2 is automatically compressed and stored in onboard tanks.
Mast Reforestation
Mast is the world’s first and only end-to-end tech-led reforestation company.
Mast Reforestation uses technology to provide faster and more resilient forest restoration at no cost to the landowner.
Clime Works
Clime Works harnesses the power of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology in the battle against climate change.
Running Tide - Ocean carbon removal
Running Tide removes carbon durably through natural pathways: Dissolving alkaline minerals into the ocean and combining photosynthesis and gravity to store carbon in the deep sea.
5 trees for every order
Our partnership with TheGoodAPI aims to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions through the power of reforestation. We believe that planting trees is a critical step in creating a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
Reforesting Brazil's Atlantic Forest
By using Shop Pay, the accelerated payment method at checkout, you can support the Pachama reforestation program. This initiative generated $476K for multiple carbon removal projects in 2023 alone, including Pachama's reforestation program. The Brazilian Atlantic Forest, one of the most biodiverse regions, has been severely depleted over centuries due to deforestation, with only 12% of the original forest remaining. In 2023, Shopify's payment method, Shop Pay, along with merchants accepting payments through it, facilitated the reforestation of approximately 200 hectares.
