Offsetting Carbon Emissions

At Blu. Cookware, we collaborate with several partners to offset the carbon emissions generated from our production, shipment, and overall business operations.

What are Carbon Emissions?

Carbon emissions are basically the stuff that gets released into the air when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Think of it like the smoke that comes out of a carʼs exhaust or a factory chimney. These emissions are mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), which isnʼt great for our planet. They trap heat in the atmosphere, kind of like a big, invisible blanket, making the Earth warmer. This whole process is what we call climate change, and itʼs messing with weather patterns, melting ice caps, and even making some places more prone to wildfires and floods.

So, cutting down on carbon emissions is like taking off that heavy blanket to help the Earth cool down a bit! But we know that creating emissions can be hard to avoid... so what then?

What is Carbon Offsetting?

Carbon offsetting is like hitting the reset button on your carbon footprint. Letʼs say you take a flight or drive a lot; youʼre putting carbon emissions into the air.

With carbon offsetting, funds are invested into projects that reduce or capture an equivalent amount of carbon somewhere else, like planting trees or funding renewable energy. Itʼs like balancing out the bad with some good! These projects help absorb the carbon or prevent it from being released in the first place, making the whole system a bit more balanced.

We think its a super cool way to make a positive impact and help fight climate change while still living your life!

What are we doing about it?

We are working with a number of partners to offset the carbon emissions produced during production, shipment and general business.

1

We offset carbon emissions from our non-stick coating production through a partnership with the Clima Foundation, supporting a reforestation project in Uruguay. This project regenerates barren land, boosts CO2 absorptions, increases biodiversity, and protects the environment and climate.

We offset carbon emissions from shipments to and within Australia through a partnership with Greenfleet Australia. Greenfleet replants native forests to restore wildlife habitats, combat climate change, enhance biodiversity, protect soil and water quality, and create green spaces for all to enjoy.

In addition to Blu.'s partnership with Carbon Click to offset production and shipment emissions, Carbon Click allows you to offset carbon emissions from your online orders. At checkout, you can add a $2 donation to certified carbon offset projects, such as planting trees, protecting forests, and investing in renewable energy in Australia and New Zealand, helping to absorb or reduce CO2 emissions.
