The Evergrade Carbon Footprint measurement is an estimate of the quantity of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) that are released into the atmosphere in the materials sourcing, production and transportation of a consumer product. It considers Carbon Dioxide, the biggest perpetrator of global warming, along with the equivalents (that’s the “e” in Co2e) for other harmful gases like Methane. While the measure is based on the product data we can obtain, it's a very good directional measure to understand emissions from the creation of this product.
