The problem with shipping
- The shipping industry is responsible for approximately 2.2% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
- CO2 emissions from shipping can lead to the acidification of the ocean
- The warming effect of CO2 emissions from shipping contributes to global climate change
- The environmental impacts of shipping are a growing concern
Reducing Shipping Weight Saves Energy
- ~95% of the weight from single use surface spray cleaners is water
- Water is heavy, by removing it from our products we dramatically reduce their weight. This, in turn, reduces the amount of fuel needed to transport them, leading to lower energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
- Green Llama refills are 99.6% lighter than single use surface spray cleaners bought at the store
Water Not Included!
Lower Energy From Shipping Reduces Carbon Emissions
- Green Llama refills weigh only 3 grams (0.1 Oz). Shipping cost much less energy, just ask the mail person.
- Reduced Transportation: Refillable cleaning products often come in concentrated formulas that can be mixed with water at home, which reduces the need for transportation of large containers of pre-mixed cleaning solutions. This can lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation.
