At BounceOT, we believe small, consistent actions can contribute to meaningful change. Through our commitment to contribute 1% of the revenue we receive via Stripe, we have now provided £556 to support 34 early-stage carbon removal projects, funding an estimated two tonnes of permanent CO₂ removal.
Every time someone makes one of these payments, part of the revenue received by BounceOT helps fund the development of technologies designed to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere permanently.
Our contribution so far
We are delighted to share that, through our Stripe Climate commitment, BounceOT has now:
- contributed £556
- supported 34 carbon removal projects
- helped fund an estimated 2 tonnes of permanent CO₂ removal
To help put that estimated impact into perspective, Stripe describes it as roughly equivalent to:
- 19 hours of economy air travel, or
- 4,421 miles of driving in a car
These comparisons are illustrative estimates, but they help to show how many small transactions can build into something more substantial over time.
What is Stripe Climate?
Stripe Climate allows businesses to direct a percentage of their revenue towards promising early-stage carbon removal technologies.
These projects are working on ways to remove carbon dioxide that is already present in the atmosphere and store it permanently. Stripe allocates contributions to technologies it has selected and assessed, helping teams move their ideas from early research and laboratory prototypes towards practical deployment in the field.
BounceOT participates through a Climate Commitment, meaning that we contribute a percentage of the revenue processed through our Stripe account rather than purchasing a fixed amount of carbon removal.
Supporting technologies at an early stage
Permanent carbon removal remains a developing field. Many potentially important technologies need significant investment, testing and real-world deployment before they can operate at the scale required.
Our contribution is used to help support this early development. It is part of a wider effort to give promising technologies the opportunity to move out of the laboratory, demonstrate their effectiveness and become commercially viable.
Purchases are facilitated through Frontier, an advance market commitment of more than $1 billion that aims to accelerate the development of permanent carbon removal technologies by purchasing future carbon removal from promising companies.
What this means when you pay BounceOT
There is nothing additional that our customers or families need to do.
When you make an eligible purchase or payment through Stripe, BounceOT contributes 1% of the revenue we receive. The contribution comes from BounceOT and is not added to the price you pay.
This applies across several parts of our work, including purchases from our shop, payments made using Stripe invoice links and payments processed through our booking website.
Individual purchases are not described as carbon-neutral, and our commitment does not replace the need to reduce emissions wherever possible. Instead, it is one practical way that BounceOT can help support the development of longer-term carbon removal solutions while continuing to consider the wider environmental impact of our work.
Thank you for being part of it
Reaching £556 across 34 projects has only been possible because people have chosen to purchase, book and make payments through BounceOT.
Whether you have bought something from our online shop, booked a service or paid an invoice using a Stripe link, you have helped make this collective contribution possible.
We know that our commitment represents one small part of a much bigger challenge. However, we also believe that progress is built through consistent choices. By continuing to contribute 1% of eligible Stripe revenue, we hope to support promising carbon removal technologies as they develop and grow.
Thank you for supporting BounceOT and helping us create an impact that extends beyond the services we provide.
