Esko and CarbonQuota are integrating science-based carbon measurement directly into packaging optimisation.​ They have partnered to unveil a new carbon emission calculation capability that enables brands and packaging converters to accurately measure and reduce their environmental impact through automated carbon footprint calculations, helping them meet sustainability goals and comply with evolving regulatory requirements. This solution enables businesses to automatically assess the carbon footprint of packaging configurations – including palletisation and container loading, in real time. This capability enables eco-design decisions at the earliest stage, supporting sustainability targets while ensuring regulatory compliance.

The integration of CarbonQuota’s science-based carbon footprint solution into Esko’s Cape Pack Prime edition offers a revolutionary approach to sustainability in packaging optimisation. By combining the robust palletisation and container load planning capabilities of Cape Pack with CarbonQuota’s precise carbon footprint database, businesses can automatically calculate the carbon footprint of packaging and transportation configurations in real-time.

Geert De Proost, Director of Product Partnerships says, "This new partnership with CarbonQuota makes it simpler for our customers across the value chain to meet their own sustainability goals – driven by both mounting regulatory demands and escalating consumer expectation." Dominic Harris, co-founder of CarbonQuota, adds, "By embedding CarbonQuota’s certified carbon footprint engine within Cape Pack, we empower converters and brand owners to make smart, low-carbon choices from the very beginning."

ESKOWorld takes place this week in St. Louis.
