Sustainability
We believe that all individuals have the power to make positive change in the world and that is why hygeia is planet friendly by design;
We avoid the usage of single use plastic which is becoming a real world issue.
We avoid the unnecessary shipment of water around the world by using a concentrated powdered cleaning solution.
Despite this, Ecommerce deliveries do have a carbon footprint which is why we choose to go a step further and offset our own emissions.
We clean up after ourselves
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 and any additional funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Together, with other participating businesses,
We have removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere.
We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects. When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 48 million deliveries and removed over 34 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
