Modkat

Sustainability Story

In addition to becoming carbon neutral certified Modkat is working to reduce our plastic usage by using recycled plastic and recycles ocean plastic in our products. In addition for every product Modkat ships, we purchase carbon offsets through our partner Ecocart. Our contributions go directly to the Tri-City Forest Project, which protects a spruce forest in Massachusetts that captures over 100,000 tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide each year.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

01 Measure

Modkat measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

0 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

3,395 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

3,395 tCO2e

02 Offset

Modkat invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Modkat to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

Modkat's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

3,395 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

03 Reduce

Modkat has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable Modkat to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Mid Term Targets

Modkat has committed to reducing 2021 emissions 50% by 2030.

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Mid Term Targets

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

Modkat is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce packaging in our products.

How We'll Reduce It

We will replace any plastic bags inside our packaging with none or with recycled or biodegradable option.

What We’re Reducing

Reduce last mile delivery emissions by reducing single-item shipments or optimizing when and how you send out shipments.

How We'll Reduce It

We will work with a new 3PL that can put additional items inside our bigger products boxes so they can ship multiple items in one box. We will promote selling "bundles" so there are more items being shipped in one box vs many.
