Durable CO₂ removal · at checkout

Clean up more than
you can see. Really.

A small contribution at checkout funds real, permanent carbon removal — not cheap paper credits. And it pays down the cost of removal for everyone who comes after you.

Removal is expensive now. Every euro spent today scales the technology and pushes the price down — the same way early solar panels made cheap solar possible.

Durable removal that lasts, not avoidance that might
Why this is different

Most "carbon neutral" buttons buy the cheapest possible excuse.

The checkout-offset world runs on cheap avoidance credits and a claim that's about to become illegal in the EU. We built the opposite.

The usual widget

Offset, on paper

  • Cheap avoidance credits (€5–15/tonne) with contested real-world impact
  • "Your order is now carbon neutral" — a claim regulators are banning
  • Money disappears into a project you'll never see again
TheCarbonCleanup

Removal, for real

  • Durable removal that physically takes CO₂ out and keeps it out
  • Honest wording: we tell you the kilos removed, never "you're neutral"
  • Every contribution traceable to a certificate, reported every quarter
How it works

Three seconds at checkout. Real removal behind it.

01

See your estimate

At checkout, the widget shows the estimated CO₂ footprint of your basket — always as an estimate, with the method explained.

02

Choose your part

Add a small contribution — a preset, or cover the full estimate. You decide how much.

03

We remove it, provably

We pool contributions and commit them to vetted removal suppliers. You get the kilos; the certificate is the proof.

What it looks like at checkout

No guilt, no greenwash. A clear estimate, a real choice, and a factual result — the kilos you're removing, not a neutrality badge we're not allowed to promise.

Transparency, as a product

You don't have to trust us. You can check us.

The commission that keeps us running is shown openly. The rest goes to removal, and we prove it.

Separated from day one

Your contribution and our fee are split at the source — every euro is labelled the moment it comes in.

Certificates, not promises

Removal is backed by certificates from vetted suppliers — the evidence behind every kilo we report.

Reported every quarter

How much came in, how much was removed, and where it went — published on a schedule, not on request.

The honest part

Real removal costs more. We think that's the point.

A euro buys fewer kilos with us than with a cheap-credit widget — because real, durable removal genuinely costs more today. Paying that price now is what bends the cost curve down. If, after reading how this works, you're not convinced, we offer your money back.
