Comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis

Tracking Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Over 182,000 Products We have taken a deep dive into the supply chains of our top selling products across every category we offer to do a life cycle assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions from raw materials to a final product at your doorstep. With these product emissions calculations, we have calculated the carbon calculations explicitly across over 182,000+ SKUs available on our platform.

We’ve tracked each product's shipping emissions between each stage of production, and from warehouse to distribution center, to your office. Our calculations were made with data from our own operations, our distributors, and our product manufacturers. Where specific data points were unavailable, such as the exact plastic mixture of a pen, we used publicly available information on materials processing, and proprietary emissions factors to create the most accurate as possible.
