Turn print data into credible environmental intelligence.
Measure the impact of every job and your wider operations, respond faster to customer requests and identify practical reduction opportunities – using accurate, activity-based data built for print.
Print businesses need better environmental data
Customers, procurement teams and regulators increasingly expect credible, job-specific evidence. Yet every print specification combines different substrates, inks, processes, finishing, volumes, waste and distribution routes – making consistent carbon calculations difficult to produce manually.
CarbonQuota replaces estimates, generic averages and fragmented spreadsheets with defensible environmental intelligence that connects product, operational and supply-chain data.
Respond faster
Provide consistent carbon data at quote stage and answer customer requests without rebuilding calculations for every job.
Make better decisions
Compare specifications and identify hotspots across paper, production, energy, waste, transport and end-of-life.
Compete with confidence
Use transparent, evidence-backed data to strengthen tenders, customer reporting and carefully substantiated environmental claims.
How CarbonQuota helps
Environmental intelligence at every level.
Product environmental footprints
Calculate job-level footprints using activity-based lifecycle data. Compare materials and specifications, support lower-impact choices and provide credible customer evidence.
Operational environmental footprints
Establish a credible Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline across sites and operations, identify emissions hotspots and track reduction progress over time.
Integrated environmental calculations
Connect CarbonQuota with your MIS or ERP to calculate product footprints from existing job specifications – reducing manual work and delivering consistent outputs at scale.
Customer Story
Making job-level carbon calculations faster and scalable
Acorn Web Offset wanted to provide carbon information on every estimate without adding another manual task. CarbonQuota was integrated with its CAI Technique MIS, using existing job specifications to generate product-specific carbon footprints within the estimating workflow.
The integration gives Acorn a fast, consistent way to answer customer requests and place credible carbon data at the front of commercial conversations.
The results
Instant carbon assessments generated within the existing workflow
Manual calculation tasks removed, with no additional training required
Product-specific data available to support estimates and customer discussions
“It’s removed manual tasks and lets us deliver instant carbon assessments, backed by a leading carbon provider. We wanted Acorn Web to be first to market, giving us another competitive edge. Customer feedback has been fantastic.”
Mark Roberts, Managing Director, Acorn Web Offset Ltd
