Carbon-free shipping!


Hakatai has partnered with GreenShipping.com to provide carbon-neutral shipping on our FedEx Ground and Expedited orders.

Green Shipping uses a carbon shipment calculator to determine the CO2 emissions generated by each shipment. Once the package has completed its journey and the calculations are complete, Hakatai purchases carbon offsets to neutralize the shipment's effect on climate change.

Hakatai’s carbon offsets are purchased from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. With BEF carbon offsets, organizations such as Hakatai are able to dedicate funds to the development of renewable energy sources like solar power. This, in turn, helps reduce the carbon footprints we leave behind in shipping our products. To find out more about Green Shipping, visit www.greenshipping.com.
