Ecology
We clean up after ourselves
Together, the participating companies have…
- Removed thousands of tons of carbon from the atmosphere
- Offered carbon neutral shipping on over ten million orders
Here’s how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated delivery emissions. Based on these estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been assessed by Carbon Direct scientists. These companies use this money to remove the amount of carbon created by our deliveries. The additional funds are used for the continued development of carbon removal technologies.
Companies that reduce our delivery emissions.
Grassroots Carbon

Our Responsible Materials
-
PLA (Polyactic Acid)
Learn moreOur use of PLA, a bioplastic made from renewable resources like corn, reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional plastics. This material is also biodegradable under specific conditions, minimizing plastic waste.
-
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
Learn moreWe use TPU, a material that is both durable and recyclable. Thanks to its resistance and flexibility properties, it reduces the need to replace products frequently, thus contributing to more responsible consumption.
-
Steel
We integrate steel into our products for its robustness and longevity. Steel is an infinitely recyclable material, making it a sustainable choice for our components.
Eco-responsible delivery
