Our climate commitment

We pay to take your delivery’s carbon back out of the air.

Every online order leaves Edinburgh with Royal Mail. For each one, we fund projects that capture the carbon dioxide its delivery is estimated to produce, and store it away.

How it works

Three steps, every order.

Shopify Planet does the measuring and the buying. We pay for it.

Step 1
We measure it

When your order ships, Shopify Planet estimates its carbon from the parcel’s weight, how far it goes and how it travels.
- Worked out for every parcel
- Weight, distance and transport
- Errs high where data is missing
Step 2
We pay to remove it

We fund the removal of that same amount of carbon dioxide. Shopify takes no cut, so all of the money goes to removal projects.
- Paid by Quas, not you
- Every online order
- 100% to removal projects
Step 3
We fund removal projects

Through Shopify Planet, we back new technology that captures and stores CO₂, alongside forest and grassland restoration.
- Direct air capture
- Enhanced rock weathering
- Partners include Climeworks

How it travels

A low carbon start, with Royal Mail.

Removal works best when there’s less to remove. So every order goes with Royal Mail, whose posties walk all or part of more than half their routes, and whose carbon per parcel has fallen every year since 2022–23.

Is my delivery carbon neutral?

We don’t use that label, because it means different things to different people. Here is exactly what we do: for every online order, we pay to remove the carbon dioxide that Shopify Planet estimates its delivery produces.

Why remove carbon rather than offset it?

Many offsets pay to avoid emissions somewhere else, such as protecting a forest. Removal takes carbon dioxide that is already in the air and stores it. We chose Planet’s Millennium plan, which puts the most into the newest removal technologies.

How much have you funded so far?

Since we joined Shopify Planet in December 2023, we have funded the removal of more than 1.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide across thousands of deliveries. The removal figure is Planet’s estimate, as at 28 September 2026.

Does it cost me anything?

No. Quas pays for it on every online order, and it adds nothing to your bill.

What about the can?

Our cans are aluminium, which is widely recycled. Rinse yours and put it in your recycling.

What’s next?

We started with delivery because it can be measured parcel by parcel. Next, we plan to measure the whole life of a can of Quas, from grain to glass, so we can cut carbon there too.

Where do these figures come from?
