Bundle Box launches carbon offset of international shipments

Already by shipping your items in one consolidated shipment from the USA to the UK, you are reducing the CO² emitted by your import activity from the USA. We feel that is not enough. Now with Bundle Box you can carbon offset the CO² that is emitted during the transport of your shipment by road and air.

1. Bundle Box is committed to minimizing it’s impact on the environment

• With Bundle Box you can offset the CO² that is emitted during the transport of your shipment by road and air.

2. How do we estimate the amount of CO² emitted by your shipment?

• Bundle Box has developed a carbon calculator to estimate the amount of CO² that is emitted during the transport of your shipment.
• The total amount of CO² emitted depends on the total weight of your shipment, means of transport and the kilometers transported.
• For each part of the trip (from the warehouse to the airport, from the USA airport to the UK airport and from the UK airport to the delivery address), we have estimated the grams of CO² emitted by ton/km, based on reports by the Commission for Integrated transport.

3. How do we carbon offset the CO² emitted by your shipment?

• Once we have calculated the amount of CO² emitted by your shipment, we use a typical market rate of £15.00 per 1000 kg CO² to estimate the costs of offsetting.
• Each time we have gathered 100 tons in CO² offset, we offset these through purchasing credits in one of the projects of Carbon Footprint, Carbon Footprint provides UK government assured offsetting.
• This means that you can rest assured that your carbon offset is of good quality and that the credits we purchase comply with the Kyoto Protocol and have been checked by the United Nations
