Measuring carbon footprints in sign manufacturing: Why automation is the answer
Alongside traditional demands for creativity, durability, and cost efficiency, customers are increasingly asking signage manufacturers for sustainability data.

If you import more than 50 tonnes of aluminium and/or steel product into the EU, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is now a live compliance requirement – with aluminium and steel packaging covered alongside cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity.
It seems like one of your colleagues is always up to their neck in environmental reporting – and the water is rising. Whether you are doing it to satisfy client demands, keep up with your competitors, impress new clients or simply to reduce your impact, it is becoming more complex to keep up.
Top sustainability shifts to watch in 2026 (and what they mean for print & packaging).
2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for sustainability, not as a marketing message or a CSR box-tick, but as a measurable, commercial differentiator.
ePS (eProductivity Software), a leading provider of ERP and software solutions for packaging manufacturers and converters, together with Esko, the global leader in integrated software and hardware solutions for the packaging and label industry, and CarbonQuota, a pioneer in scientifically validated carbon footprint measurement, today announced a world-first integrated solution.
There is an evolution in the packaging and materials market that cannot be ignored if businesses want to be competitive. Sustainability.
For the print and packaging industry, this is a defining moment. Businesses that can prove their environmental impact will thrive. Those that can’t – or worse, exaggerate their performance – risk penalties, reputational damage, and the loss of customer trust.
As the sustainable footprint of the print industry comes under increasing scrutiny, CarbonQuota is proud to play a central role in the PrintGreen initiative – ensuring that brands, agencies and print specialists have access to clear, science-based carbon insight when choosing print channels.
Achieving high scores in sustainability frameworks such as CDP and EcoVadis requires more than just ambition, it demands precision, transparency and sector-specific data. That’s where CarbonQuota makes a measurable difference.
