Commitment to the climate
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.
Together the participating companies have…
- Removed thousands of tons of carbon from the air
- Provided zero-carbon shipping for over ten million orders
Here’s how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate estimated shipping emissions. Based on these estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by Direct Carbon scientists. These companies use that money to remove the amount of carbon created by our shipments. Any additional funds go toward further development of carbon removal technologies.
Meet some of the companies eliminating our shipping emissions.
Heirloom
Heirloom's direct air capture technology improves the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology accelerates the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ Instead of using energy-intensive fans to suck in air.
Remora
Remora captures CO₂ from the exhaust pipes of semi-trailers as they drive, and the CO₂ is sent for long-term storage.
Charm
Charm captures CO₂ from plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and stores it safely deep underground, out of reach of fires and soil erosion.
