ePS Packaging, a global software solutions provider for the packaging industry, has partnered with CarbonQuota to integrate advanced carbon footprint capabilities across its comprehensive software ecosystem.

The collaboration will embed CarbonQuota's sophisticated automated carbon calculator into ePS' extensive software offering for the packaging and print industries, which is said to create a market offering that drives measurable sustainability in production through accurate and verifiable data.

According to ePS, by integrating its traceability capabilities with CarbonQuota's auditable carbon footprinting mechanism, this collaboration will deliver a powerful tool for data-driven decision making, thereby creating a competitive advantage that enables businesses to provide pricing options and carbon footprint details to their customers.

“We are excited to bring to market a key differentiating capability for our customer base, enabling them to better collaborate with their brand customers in this crucial joint environmental responsibility of reducing carbon footprints,” said Gaby Matsliach, CEO of ePS Packaging.

“Our software platforms capture intricate data across raw materials, production processes, and logistics, which will now be transformed into precise, standardised carbon footprint calculations that meet the highest international reporting standards."

The company said that every carbon footprint generated through this solution is verifiable and auditable, safeguarding brands and their supply chains from risks, such as challenges from NGOs or regulatory scrutiny.

“Carbon footprints have become the universal metric for corporate sustainability,” explained Dominic Harris, CarbonQuota's co-founder.

"As organisations worldwide solidify their net-zero commitments, our technology provides the most granular, trustworthy data needed to substantiate and accelerate these environmental goals."
