Calculating the emissions for the entire parcel's journey is very difficult and there is a lack of information available on this subject! As our system and analytics grow we aim to offset the entire parcel's journey.
We have partnered with the Eden Reforestation Project, they do amazing work internationally planting trees and helping out communities by creating jobs and income. To date we have planted 10,000 Trees.
We purchase carbon credits on a biannual basis proportional to the amount of CO2 we calculate has been emitted in that timeframe.
While Parcel tracker isn’t responsible for much carbon emission, we are aware that we do operate within an industry that pollutes and our team believes that everyone can take steps towards making the planet a better place. With this in mind we feel that we can do something to make deliveries greener.
Parcel Tracker is for receptions, mailrooms, offices or residential buildings. Anywhere where there is a person accepting parcels on behalf of others, parcel tracker can help make the process more transparent and save time for staff.
Our calculations use the Mayor of London’s study on the average distances travelled for a parcel between the distribution centre and the final address. The data has shown that the average distances travelled were between 125 meters and 250 meters. We have rounded this up to 500 meters per parcel to compensate for unknowns and margins of error. We are also operating under the assumption that the last mile of the delivery is made by an average 3.5 tonne van with emissions of 0.29 kgCO2e/km (diesel/petrol/Hybrid/CNG/LPG including WWT emissions), this bring the average emission for a single parcel to 0.15kgCO2e.
Initially we are carbon offsetting the last leg of the delivery; this part of the delivery is also often called the "last leg", it is the most expensive and polluting part of a parcels journey from the store to your home. Our goal is to carbon offset the entire journey of the parcel, however we need some more data and analytics to do this well.
Parcel Tracker is a package and delivery management software for buildings. It helps receptions manage deliveries, notify recipients their parcels have arrived on site and collects proof of collection. Parcel Tracker is used across a range of buildings such as residential, offices,student accommodation, universities, government buildings and many more.
