A sofa: carbon footprint

A sofa comes in at about 90 kg CO₂e (one three-seater).

Of the 16 things you buy Carbonle tracks, A sofa sits at #11 from the lightest — one of the heaviest.

This is the one-off cost of making the thing, before you use it. It's why a reusable tote only wins after many trips, and why a phone's footprint is the factory, not the charger.

Frame, foam, fabric and freight. Furniture is quietly carbon-heavy.
