Sustainability
We Ship Sustainably with Shopify Planet
At Curly & Blonde, we care about people and the planet. Every order you place with us ships carbon neutral thanks to the Shopify Planet app. That means every delivery helps fight climate change.
Here’s how it works and why it matters:
What is Planet?
Shopify’s Planet app automatically calculates and removes the carbon emissions created by shipping your order. It funds cutting edge carbon removal technologies instead of simply offsetting emissions.
What makes it different?
• Carbon neutral shipping on every order
• All contributions go directly to world first carbon removal technologies
• No greenwashing.. this is real carbon removal, not just offsetting
Where does the money go?
We help fund innovations in soil and forest carbon removal. Shopify carefully selects and supports companies leading the way in climate solutions, including:
• Charm – captures CO2 by turning plant waste into a stable carbon-rich liquid and pumping it deep underground
• Running Tide – enhances natural ocean processes to trap CO2
• Heirloom – uses minerals to absorb CO2 from the air
• Remora – captures emissions directly from trucks at the tailpipe
• Planetary – removes CO2 by adding safe antacids to the ocean, also producing green hydrogen
• Grassroots Carbon – connects landowners with companies to store carbon naturally in healthy soil
Why it matters:
• Over 23.6 million carbon neutral shipments were processed in 2024 using Planet
• More than 15,000 tonnes of carbon were removed last year
• Shopify has invested over 83.9 million dollars into verified carbon removal technology
Your impact:
When you shop with us, you’re funding the future of carbon removal and proving that small businesses can lead meaningful change. Every package you receive has a purpose.
Did you know every 30 seconds, this much plastic finds its way into our oceans?!
