PackageTraceCarbon: Shipping Impact Inspector
Browser extension that shows real-time carbon emissions for every package in your order history across Amazon, eBay, and Shopify stores.
The Problem
Online shoppers have no visibility into the carbon footprint of their purchases or shipping methods. They can't compare delivery options by environmental impact, and e-commerce platforms hide this data. Most sustainability apps focus on food or energy, leaving a massive blind spot in consumer spending habits.
Target Audience
Environmentally conscious online shoppers aged 25-45 who use Amazon/Shopify regularly and want to align purchases with sustainability values.
Why Now?
EU Green Deal reporting requirements and SEC climate disclosure rules are forcing retailers to calculate emissions; APIs are newly available. Consumer awareness of 'logistics emissions' is spiking but supply chain data remains opaque.
What's Missing
Shipping is 30-40% of an online purchase's carbon footprint, but platforms actively hide it. No tool bridges the gap between retailer API data and end-user visibility at point-of-decision.
