EcoCart accommodates to the rising growth of e-commerce, offering ease of purchasing options for consumers. As the name of the company suggests, it prioritizes sustainable practices. Learning that there is a global increase of carbon dioxide, EcoCart aims to retaliate that with new solutions.

Shippers can reduce their carbon footprint by electric vehicle deliveries or reducing packaging materials for example. The San Fran-based start up company starts with an API, application programming interface for shippers and a browser extension for customers. Once that is completed, EcoCart determines the carbon footprint of that order and offers customers the chance to purchase carbon offsets. Co-Founder Dane Baker assures that that cost is usually lower than $1 for each purchase.
