We are proud to announce that all orders shipped via UPS from Pure Buttons 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 asking 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.

Look for the 🌱 seedling emoji to denote a UPS carbon neutral shipping option during checkout.
Important Update! 2024's numbers are in and we're excited to share them. In 2024 Pure Buttons customers have offset 47.701 metric tons of CO2e through the UPS Carbon Neutral Program. That is a total of 121.06 metric tons of CO2e since we began participating in the program. Thank you!
