Industries: Labels
Turn label specification into credible environmental intelligence.
Measure product and operational impacts, answer customer requests faster and find practical ways to reduce environmental impact – using accurate, activity-based data built for label production.
Labels carry more than a message. They cary an environmental impact.
From facestock, adhesive and liner to inks, coatings, embellishments, converting waste, energy and transport, every label specification creates a different footprint. Capturing that complexity manually is slow, difficult to scale and vulnerable to inconsistent assumptions.
CarbonQuota turns production and supply-chain data into consistent environmental intelligence, helping label businesses respond to customer demands, improve specifications and build credible evidence for reduction.
Answer customers faster
Produce consistent product footprint information for quotes, tenders and customer reporting without rebuilding calculations for every request.
Improve specifications
Compare materials, constructions, print processes, finishing choices and logistics to understand where environmental impact can be reduced.
Strengthen your commercial position
Give procurement teams and brand customers transparent, defensible data that supports supplier assessments and carefully substantiated environmental claims.
How CarbonQuota helps
Environmental intelligence for labels, products and operations.
Product environmental footprints
Measure the impact of individual label products and specifications using activity-based lifecycle data. Account for substrates, adhesives, liners, inks, coatings, finishing, waste, energy, transport and end-of-life in one consistent calculation.
Operational environmental footprints
Establish a credible baseline across sites and converting operations. Identify hotspots, track progress and give customers better evidence of the operational impact behind every job.
Integrated environmental calculations
Connect CarbonQuota with your MIS, ERP or workflow platform to calculate product footprints from existing job data. Automate consistent outputs at estimate and production stage, without adding a separate manual process.
Customer Story
Carbon data built into label production workflows
CarbonQuota integrates with ePS Radius ERP, a platform used across labels, folding cartons and flexible packaging. Live job specifications can be sent securely to CarbonQuota’s calculation engine, with product footprint results returned directly to the existing workflow.
The same approach can scale across sites and systems, helping label groups replace disconnected spreadsheets with a consistent method for product-level reporting.
What this enables
Product footprints at estimate and production stage
Comparable results across materials, jobs and sites
Carbon data available for quotes, reports and customer conversations
“CarbonQuota are delighted to be the Sustainability partner within ePS’s newly launched CommandCore platform, marking an important step forward in the integration of carbon data into packaging operations.”
Label expertise meets robust environmental data
CarbonQuota combines specialist knowledge of print, packaging and label conversion with robust environmental methodology and scalable technology. Calculations reflect how labels are designed, specified, manufactured, transported and managed at end-of-life.
- Activity-based calculations using relevant material and process data
- Product and operational environmental intelligence
