Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Each row represents a unique e-commerce order shipment.
Packaging type must be categorized (e.g., paper, plastic, compostable, multi-material).
Carbon footprint is calculated per shipment based on packaging material and weight.
Recycling eligibility and return rates tracked by shipment.
Waste reduction initiatives flagged for shipments using reduced or reusable packaging.
Orders without packaging information are excluded.
