🌳 10 planted Trees

 

Plastic is everywhere. A simple visit to the local market produces 3,4, 5 pieces of plastic bags and other packaging. Getting around that is hard. Yes, you can have your own bag and recycle everything. It is awesome if you DO IT, but we create something even better. A tree planting package where you offset a 10 years’ worth of CO2 produced by plastic. Simple, effective, and green.

Why plant trees?

Planting trees is not just about offsetting carbon emissions. Yes, trees help clean the air we breathe, but that’s not all. Trees also filter the water we drink, reduce the risks of soil erosion, protect groundwater supplies, create shade and shelter for crops and livestock, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity.

THE MATH

This package assumes that the average person uses 50kg of single-use plastic per year. The carbon footprint of plastic (LDPE or PET, polyethylene) is about 6 kg CO2 per kg of plastic.

The most common tree species that we plant are Pines Patula, Griveria Robusta, Croton Microstrachas, Rauvolfia Caffra, Albizia Schimperiana, and Markhamea Lutea. On average these Tree species offset 300kg of Co2 in their lifetime. Lifetime CO2 offset represents the total estimated amount of CO2 the tree will accumulate throughout its lifetime. To keep a simple estimation model, this period corresponds to the most significant years of the tree’s volume growth.

50 kg of plastic x 6 kg of co2 x 10 years = 3000 kg of Co2

3000 kg of Co2 / 300 kg offset per tree = 10 Trees
