Esko, the provider of integrated software and hardware solutions for the packaging/label industry, has unveiled a new carbon emission calculation capability developed in partnership with CarbonQuota. This integrated solution reportedly enables packaging converters to measure and reduce their environmental impact through automated carbon footprint calculations, helping them meet sustainability goals and comply with regulatory requirements.
The new capability, available through Esko’s S2 platform, connects with CarbonQuota’s calculation engine to provide carbon footprint data at the design stage, during product development, and in production. This approach allows companies to evaluate environmental impact throughout the entire packaging lifecycle.
The partnership addresses several key challenges facing the packaging industry. Brands and converters have been struggling with time-consuming manual carbon footprint calculations, and this integration automates these critical processes. With legislation like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and carbon taxes on the horizon, businesses urgently need reliable measurement tools to ensure compliance. Additionally, major brands are increasingly requiring environmental impact data from their suppliers, creating pressure throughout the value chain.
The carbon calculation capability is now available in the Esko S2 platform, with Cape Prime integration. Phoenix and WebCenter integrations are currently in development, with a comprehensive roadmap planned for 2025 and beyond.
