Human-induced climate change is caused by many factors, including the packaging sector which accounts for around 8%, similar to the impact of aviation(Deloitte). The need for this project is defined by the EU's imminent Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) that will require companies to record/document their direct and indirect CO2 emissions from 1st October 2023\. This step will pose challenges for many companies, as necessary IT solutions are lacking (KPMG).CarbonQuota has created a unique cloud-based technology platform, consisting of a database and algorithm which performs instant carbon footprint calculations. It links two organisations together to share carbon footprint data regarding paper-based print and packaging.This project is to create a prototype cloud-based software, PackPro, to link more organisations in more complex multi-tier packaging value chains for plastic, metal and aluminium packaging. This will allow end-users in FMCG Brands to eco-design products with accurate carbon footprints for the first time.We are seeking Innovate UK investment to urgently develop our platform. Our current solution can't deal with multi-tier chains in plastic, metal and aluminium packaging which is a serious limit on the market appeal and reach. This project solves this issue to expand our accessible market.This step-change in our business will expand the technology platform to deliver several outcomes:* Serve more sectors* Overhaul working practises to improve productivity* Acceleration of business growth* Attract international customers* Increased accuracy of carbon footprints for better decision makingOur approach is innovative and disruptive:* Through increased automation we will reduce the use of manual data processing and Excel-based methodologies* Existing solutions tend to be defined by general scientists or consultants who don't understand sector idiosyncrasies. CarbonQuota has proven that mapping the specifics of what actually happens, and asking the right questions, is more accurate.

人类引起的气候变化是由许多因素造成的，包括包装行业，约占8%，类似于航空业的影响（德勤）。欧盟即将推出的碳边界调整机制（CBAM）将要求企业从2023年10月1日起记录/记录其直接和间接的二氧化碳排放量。由于缺乏必要的IT解决方案，这一步骤将给许多公司带来挑战（毕马威）。Carbonnet创建了一个独特的基于云的技术平台，由数据库和算法组成，可以执行即时碳足迹计算。该项目旨在创建一个基于云计算的软件原型PackPro，将更多组织连接到更复杂的多层包装价值链中，用于塑料，金属和铝包装。这将使快速消费品品牌的最终用户能够首次生态设计具有准确碳足迹的产品。我们正在寻求Innovate UK投资，以紧急开发我们的平台。我们目前的解决方案无法处理塑料、金属和铝包装的多层链条，这严重限制了市场吸引力和覆盖范围。这个项目解决了这个问题，以扩大我们的市场。我们业务的这一步变化将扩大技术平台，以实现以下几个成果：* 服务于更多行业 * 大修工作流程，以提高生产力 * 加速业务增长 * 吸引国际客户 * 提高碳足迹的准确性，以更好地决策我们的方法是创新和颠覆性的：* 通过提高自动化，我们将减少手动数据处理和基于Excel的方法的使用 * 现有的解决方案往往是由不了解行业特性的一般科学家或顾问定义的。碳纳米管已经证明，映射实际发生的细节，并提出正确的问题，是更准确的。
