Shopify Planet - Carbon Neutral Shipping
We’re doing our bit, step by step.
You know, sending out all those deliveries leaves a mark on the environment, and we’re mindful of that. That’s why we’re backing some clever companies that are working hard to take carbon out of the air.
Together, the businesses involved have managed to:
-
Take thousands of tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere
-
Make sure millions of orders have been shipped with a neutral carbon impact
Here’s how it works: for every order that comes in, we use a formula to figure out the emissions from shipping. Then, a bit of what we earn goes to trusted carbon removal companies, who’ve been vetted by scientists at Carbon Direct. They take out as much carbon as our deliveries add. And if there’s any extra money, it helps fund the future of carbon removal technology.
Let's 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.
