We clean up after ourselves.

We're doing our part to reduce emissions and combat climate change. By upcycling fashion waste, we've already lowered carbon output by 45%, made even greener through the UPS Carbon Neutral Shipping option which offsets transportation-based CO2 with projects like reforestation and methane destruction. To further help minimize ecommerce's environmental impacts, Shopify Planet also helps us offset costs of removing pollutants from the air so that commerce doesn't cost Mother Nature a thing!

With an impressive turnout, Shopify Planet partners have come together to prove their collective strength is a force of nature.

• We've removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• We've provided carbon-neutral shipping for millions of orders

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 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.
