We clean up after ourselves

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why Shopify supports cutting-edge companies like Sonique Drums that help to remove carbon from the air.

Together, participating businesses have…

• Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders

Here's how it works: For every order Sonique Drums receives, 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.

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.
