We Clean Up After Ourselves

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why IEEBEE supports cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air — for every order we ship.

Every order placed on ieebee.com generates shipping emissions. We don't ignore that. Instead, we calculate the carbon footprint of every shipment and direct a portion of our revenue to vetted carbon removal companies — so that every IEEBEE order is carbon-neutral by the time it reaches your door.

How It Works

For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes directly to carbon removal companies that have been independently vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct.

The process — step by step

1

You place an order on ieebee.com. The shipping distance, package weight and carrier are used to calculate the estimated carbon emissions for that specific delivery.

2

A portion of our revenue — calculated against those emissions — is directed to carbon removal companies vetted by scientists at Carbon Direct.

3

Those companies use the funds to remove however much carbon our shipments created — using technologies ranging from direct air capture to underground storage.

4

Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies — supporting the long-term science, not just today's offset.

The Companies Removing Our Emissions

We work with a portfolio of carbon removal companies — each using a different scientifically validated approach to pulling CO₂ out of the atmosphere and storing it permanently. Here's a look at some of the companies our contributions support.

🌬️
Direct Air Capture

Heirloom

Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process — speeding up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere. Unlike energy-intensive fan-based systems, Heirloom's approach works with natural processes, making it both efficient and scalable. The captured carbon is then locked away in solid mineral form for thousands of years.

🚛
Point-Source Capture

Remora

Remora takes a different approach — capturing CO₂ directly from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive. Rather than waiting to remove carbon from the open air, Remora intercepts emissions at the source, capturing up to 80% of a truck's CO₂ output on every journey. The captured CO₂ is then destined for long-term storage, permanently removing it from the atmosphere.

🌱
Bio-Based Storage

Charm

Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste — agricultural residue and other biomass that would otherwise decompose and release carbon back into the air. Charm converts this plant material into a stable, carbon-rich liquid and safely stores it deep underground, out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion. The result is durable, verifiable carbon removal with a minimal land footprint.

Our Broader Commitment

Why this matters to us

IEEBEE ships from California to customers across the United States and internationally. Every shipment has a carbon cost — and we believe it's our responsibility to account for that cost, not pass it on or ignore it.

Carbon-neutral shipping isn't a marketing feature. It's a baseline commitment — something we do for every order, regardless of size, because we believe it's the right thing to do as a business that ships physical products into the world.

We're also aware that carbon removal is still a developing field. That's why we specifically support companies working on durable, science-backed removal — not just offsetting credits — and why a portion of our contributions funds the ongoing development of that technology.

What We Make — and Why It Matters

Beyond shipping emissions, the materials we use are part of our sustainability thinking. Here's what goes into every IEEBEE washi tape set:

📜

Traditional Japanese Washi Paper

Washi is made from natural plant fibres — traditionally kozo (mulberry), gampi or mitsumata. It is biodegradable, lightweight and produced using centuries-old craft methods. As a base material, washi has a significantly lower environmental impact than synthetic tape alternatives.

Child-Safe, Tested Materials

All IEEBEE washi tapes are manufactured without phthalates and lead. This isn't just a safety standard — it's also an environmental one. Products free of harmful additives are safer throughout their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal.

📦

Reusable Gift Packaging

IEEBEE sets are packaged in premium gift rope boxes and drawer boxes designed to be kept and reused — as storage, as display, as part of the creative experience. Packaging that gets used again is packaging that doesn't become waste.

Join Us — Together, We Are Stronger

Every IEEBEE purchase already includes carbon-neutral shipping. When you shop with us, you're part of a growing community of businesses and customers taking responsibility for the footprint of the things they love. Thank you for being part of that.
