We are proud to announce that all orders shipped via UPS from Pure Buttons and StandOut Stickers will be sent as UPS carbon neutral!
What does carbon netural shipping mean? Quite simply, the "carbon cost" generated by each shipment is calculated and offset by investments in renewable energy projects, rainforest preservation and more. CO2 emissions by these UPS deliveries have been measured and reduced to net zero in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol certified by Natural Capital Partners and verified by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
Rather than allowing customers to "opt-in" to this carbon neutral option, we decided to make it standard on all UPS shipments at no additional cost.
At this time, only UPS offers a carbon neutral option. While USPS is making steps to improve the efficiency of their delivery fleet and services, you can only get carbon neutral shipping by choosing any of the UPS shipping options on our website.
