E-commerce Packaging CO2 Tracking

This dataset provides detailed, lifecycle-based CO2 emission estimates for e-commerce packaging, capturing data from supplier sourcing through last-mile delivery and end-of-life disposal. It enables sustainability managers and operations teams to identify emission hotspots, compare suppliers and materials, and inform greener packaging decisions. The dataset supports compliance, reporting, and continuous improvement in sustainable supply chain management.
