Overview
Back to topEvery eCommerce order has a carbon footprint from logistics. Moving packages quickly, across large distances, takes a significant amount of energy. The result is a large amount of carbon released into the atmosphere, creating a significant environmental footprint from eCommerce orders.
With a larger percentage of consumers moving online, this footprint is set to increase. As the impacts of climate change become more prevalent, many businesses will want to take steps to offset their carbon footprint. Future government regulation will also likely make environmental impact assessments a standard business reporting requirement.
The Ecobahn Carbon Calculator calculates these carbon emissions, allowing eCommerce retailers to accurately report their carbon footprint from logistics.
Use Cases
Calculating the carbon footprint from logistics for an eCommerce business provides the following potential use cases:
- The first step towards carbon accounting and sustainability reporting
- Engage with consumers on the important topic of sustainability by providing the carbon footprint for their online purchase
- Provide the data required to offset the carbon per order and create carbon-neutral deliveries
Account and Pricing
- No separate account required
- No additional cost
The Ecobahn Carbon Calculator v1.0.0 is completely free and there is no additional cost to utilise. In the future, we will be adding additional functionality and services to create a 'Premium' version of the tool and this may have a cost associated. At this point, users will have the option to upgrade.
There will always be this free version available
Features

- The Ecobahn Carbon Calculator algorithm estimates the logistic route, distance travelled, and transport method utilized for each stage of the journey.
- The algorithm in turn utilizes carbon emission data on a per KG, per KM, per transport method basis.
- A detailed estimate of the carbon footprint per order line is created
- Combining order line data, carbon footprint data is aggregated by date and shipping location
