Although our intentions are pure, we know there's always room for improvement. The TeePublic marketplace avoids a lot of unnecessary waste by using a print-on-demand/no-inventory model and encouraging customers, third-party fulfillers, and employees to donate, recycle, or reuse unwanted goods. The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to landfills - and textiles don't decompose quickly. Beginning in 2024, Maersk alone will need between 300,000 and 400,000 metric tons of carbon-neutral fuel for its new methanol ships. Plus, it could never hurt to give the trees some love! And while we actively try to avoid much paper waste, we acknowledge we're still making progress. 12.16pm Australia shipped its second carbon-neutral cargo of liquefied natural gas in what some analysts expect will become a big trend as energy users strive towards net zero. Afforestation and/or reforestation boosts air+water quality, biodiversity, flood control, and a whole lot else. There are many options of programs, but we’ve directed our focus toward two areas: forestry and landfill gas.įorestry is one of the most valuable ways to preserve the environment. We quantify these annual shipping emissions and work with 3Degrees to neutralize the emitted carbon via offset programs at a cost per metric ton. Since 2019, we have worked with 3Degrees to offset the carbon footprint of shipping orders from the TeePublic marketplace. If an item’s checkout, shipment, or delivery is described as carbon neutral, it usually means that the company has partnered with a third-party payment service (such as Shopify, Stripe, or EcoCart) that helps fund carbon offset or carbon removal projects. 1 carbon offset = preventing 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide from making its way into the atmosphere elsewhere around the world. TL DR - We calculate the carbon footprint of shipments and then contribute to carbon prevention and reduction programs to even it all out.
