Impact per day: Temu's 1.6 million daily parcels translate to approximately 16,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from air transportation alone, in addition to vast amounts of packaging waste and other environmental costs.

Temu creates the false reality that they are committed to environmental sustainability. Its website claims to offset carbon emissions for every order and encourages customers to combine small orders to reduce waste in excess packaging. However, overconsumption and unregulated labor usage are two main issues when it comes to shopping on Temu.
