See the carbon cost of
what you buy

A banner shows the CO₂e score and up to 3 lower-footprint alternatives.

Always a score, never a guess

When a product carries verified Footprint Protocol tags, Better Cart reads the exact lifecycle CO₂e. When it doesn't, our standardised three-tier estimation protocol derives a best-guess from material composition, product weight, and origin signals.

Every score shows its source: Verified for tagged products, Estimated Tier 1/2/3 for everything else.
