The Mechanics of Change: How the System Works
ACBUY's program awards 15 carbon credits per order when customers choose degradable packaging options. These credits are automatically tracked through the proprietary ACBUY Spreadsheet system. Upon accumulating 180 credits (equivalent to 12 eco-conscious purchases), users unlock exclusive sustainable merchandise from ACBUY's upcycled product line.

The outcome? Green packaging adoption skyrocketed from 21% to 64% within 90 days across Nordic markets - proving that environmental incentives coupled with regional customization yield measurable impact.
