100% Carbon Neutral
Monitoring 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 business. 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.
Tracking Environmental Impact and Encouraging Sustainable Choices
The overall finding is that The Raw Office customers are encouraged to choose more eco-forward products in comparison to what they might have bought previously from other suppliers. The Raw Office also has a live tracker on its website that shows all the good our customers are doing for the environment. The display is a running total from the past year and reflects what’s been realized by The Raw Office customers through their purchasing over this time period:
