Average UK courier emissions are taken as 0.25 kg CO₂e per parcel-mile, covering dedicated last-mile vans, depot sortation and empty return legs.
A Wayspost driver is already making the trip, so we count only the marginal cost of extra load and a short detour: 0.04 kg CO₂e per parcel-mile (~15% of the courier figure).
Parcel-size multipliers: Small ×0.7, Medium ×1.0, Large ×1.5, Bulky ×2.2. Tree equivalence uses 21 kg CO₂ absorbed per mature tree per year (EPA). Car-mile equivalence uses 0.17 kg CO₂e/mile (UK average petrol car).
Sources: UK Government GHG Conversion Factors (DESNZ 2024), Defra last-mile logistics data, US EPA. Estimates are indicative — real savings depend on route, vehicle and load factor.
