Building a Green Future for Custom Manufacturing
At Xometry, we're on a mission to make it easy to access manufacturing services while reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
Carbon Offset For Custom Manufacturing
Corporate social responsibility is a key component of Xometry's culture and social mission – that’s why we have partnered with Dot Neutral, an organization that matches businesses with carbon offsetting initiatives and renewable energy projects.
Through this partnership, Xometry has committed to offset 100% of the emissions produced by the shipping and delivery of Xometry parts to our customers.
You can counteract the rest of your order’s manufacturing carbon footprint by supporting carbon offsetting initiatives and renewable energy projects. This includes the carbon footprint produced in raw material extraction and processing, the transportation of materials and goods along the supply chain, and the energy consumed in fabrication.
How Does It Work?
The Xometry Instant Quoting Engine® calculates each order's estimated carbon footprint.. At checkout, customers can elect to counteract the carbon footprint of their part production by 0%, 50%, or 100% through credits that are passed to trusted environmental impact organizations.
Xometry gives you three options at checkout:
- Forest: In partnership with The National Forest Foundation, Xometry provides the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions of your order by supporting forest conservation and reforestation across America.
- Wind: In partnership with Dot Neutral, Xometry provides the opportunity to support a variety of exciting wind farm projects around the world.
- Solar: In partnership with Dot Neutral, Xometry provides the opportunity to support a variety of exciting solar farm projects around the world.

Building Greener Value Chains With Gravity Climate
Xometry provides product-level embodied carbon calculations directly in our digital marketplace, offering supply chain transparency so that companies can make informed business decisions. These embodied carbon calculations are provided in real time via the Gravity Climate API, backed by the latest climate science and reliable data, which gives Xometry users unprecedented visibility into the carbon footprint produced at their point of sale.
Most orders placed within the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine® are covered by the API, providing a valuable tool for procurement and sustainability teams looking to build greener value chains.
