Emissions from shipping in e-commerce

Hey folks,

*Working out emissions for shipping from e-commerce*

So, I'm doing some work, with a friend to put together an open model for
working out the emissions from shipping products sold via e-commerce, and I
wondered if anyone here has looked into this.

I figure while it might not be the same thing as redesigning a web page to
send less stuff over, but if we're good designers, we'll think about the
end to end experience, and it's useful to have this context.

Why ask this? I know actually sending stuff is a large part of most
e-commerce sites selling actual good, based on some high level data from
Zalando:

And this piece here - seems to support it:

*Do any models or calculators for this exist online yet?*

I know cloverly do something like this, so you can account for emissions
yourself, but they can't the only people doing it https://cloverly.com

Any of you folks found anything?

There's a public twitter thread here too -

add resouces I come across, and make a blog post if I find anything worth
sharing.
