On Earth Day 2025, we are sharing our annual carbon footprint analysis. Transparency about environmental impact is central to our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Production Emissions
Our Quebec facility powered by hydroelectricity produces near-zero emissions from energy use. The primary carbon cost comes from raw material production (filament manufacturing) and shipping.
Material Lifecycle
PLA is plant-derived, reducing fossil fuel dependency. However, agricultural production, processing, and transportation of PLA pellets contribute to its lifecycle emissions. We are working with suppliers to minimize this.
Shipping Impact
Ground shipping from Quebec produces approximately 0.5kg CO2 per package within Canada. We offset this through partnerships with carbon-neutral shipping programs. US shipments have higher impact due to longer distances.
Year-Over-Year Improvement
Compared to 2024, our per-unit carbon footprint decreased by 15% through waste reduction, packaging optimization, and production efficiency improvements.
2026 Goals
Our targets include reducing packaging weight by 20%, launching our recycled filament program, and achieving carbon-neutral shipping for all Canadian orders. Progress updates will be shared quarterly.
