The Scrubba

Sustainability Story

Our goal is to make innovative products that not only make travel and camping easier, but that also lessen the impact on the environment. Weighing just 5.5 oz., the Scrubba wash bag is the world's smallest washing machine for travel and camping. Using no electricity and minimal water it has not only helped over 330,000 travellers travel clean, light and free, but it has also reduced their travel carbon footprint and water consumption. Each Scrubba wash bag saves an average of 1000 litres of water and 7.5kg of carbon each year enabling travellers to reduce their travel footprint. Each Scrubba wash bag is designed to last for many years and is easily repairable to minimize landfill.

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 :

No items found.

The Scrubba achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for The Scrubba's 2021 emissions

01 Measure

The Scrubba 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

1 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

735 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

736 tCO2e

02 Offset

The Scrubba 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 The Scrubba to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$8,832.00

The Scrubba'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.
