Fashion is an irresistible source of pleasure and an expression of identity but it does remains the second largest pollutant in the world.

Déhanche has partnered with Doconomy and the 2030 Calculator to calculate the carbon footprint of our belts based on the emissions created from manufacturing and transport up until the point of sale. The Calculator uses unique emissions factors for each of the belt parts, material, packaging, transportation and includes the lifetime methane emissions of the animal to determine the carbon footprint.

The entire carbon emission of the belts by investing decarbonization microprojects with Milkywire.

WHAT IS CARBON NEUTRALITY?

You’re carbon neutral if the amount of CO₂ emissions you put into the atmosphere is the same as the amount of CO₂ emissions you remove from the atmosphere. Your impact is neutral, zero. Putting it bluntly, you’re maybe not making it actively worse, but you’re not making it better either.

WHY CARBON NEGATIVE?

Carbon negative takes that idea a step further. You’re carbon negative if the amount of CO₂ emissions you remove from the atmosphere is bigger than the amount of CO₂ emissions you put into the atmosphere. The “safe levels” of CO₂ (350 ppm) were surpassed back in 1987, so we have both the historical responsibility and it is critically urgent to actively clean up the atmosphere.

TRACING THE ENTIRE OFFSET

We have partnered Doconomy and the 2030 Calculator to calculate the carbon footprint of our belts based on the emissions created from manufacturing and transport up until the point of sale. The Calculator uses unique emissions factors for each belt parts, material, packaging, transport and includes the lifetime methane emissions of the animal to determine the carbon footprint.

INTERNAL CARBON TAX

Based on the recommendation of Doconomy, we have benchmarked our internal carbon tax at $130 per ton.

For each belt purchased, we are committed to making a monetary donation to impactful microprojects that reduce and remove CO2 in collaboration with Milkywire’s Climate Transformation Fund.

EARTH RESTORATION

In collaboration with Milkywire, we donate to micro restoration projects that are run by "impacters" who are experts in their field. All impacters on Milkywire are screened and vetted to meet the high standards of permanent carbon removal, restoring and protecting nature, and decarbonization
