PackageTraceEmissions: Supplier Carbon Auditor
Aggregates supplier shipping methods and calculates per-package carbon footprint for e-commerce businesses to meet sustainability commitments and customer demands.
The Problem
E-commerce businesses commit to sustainability goals but lack visibility into the actual carbon emissions of their supply chain. They manually track supplier shipping methods across spreadsheets, can't easily calculate per-order emissions, and can't offer customers transparent carbon data at checkout.
Target Audience
Small-to-mid-size e-commerce shops (Shopify, WooCommerce) with 100-5000 orders/month who've made public sustainability pledges or want to offer carbon-neutral shipping options.
Why Now?
EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and US corporate ESG reporting mandates are forcing e-commerce brands to quantify emissions by 2025; customer demand for carbon data at checkout is accelerating.
What's Missing
Existing carbon tools focus on *offsetting* (selling credits) rather than *auditing* (measuring supplier emissions). No product connects shipping method → carrier → actual emissions in a transparent, auditable way for compliance.
