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.

人为引起的气候变化是由多种因素造成的，其中包装行业约占8%，类似于航空业的影响（德勤）。欧盟即将出台的碳边界调整机制 (CBAM) 定义了该项目的需求，该机制将要求公司从 2023 年 10 月 1 日起记录/记录其直接和间接二氧化碳排放量。这一步骤将给许多公司带来挑战，因为缺乏必要的 IT 解决方案 (KPMG)。CarbonQuota 创建了一个独特的基于云的技术平台，由数据库和执行即时碳足迹计算的算法组成。它将两个组织联系在一起，共享有关纸质印刷和包装的碳足迹数据。该项目旨在创建一个基于云的软件原型 PackPro，以将塑料、金属和铝包装的更复杂的多层包装价值链中的更多组织联系起来。这将使快速消费品品牌的最终用户首次能够以准确的碳足迹进行生态设计产品。我们正在寻求创新英国的投资，以紧急开发我们的平台。我们当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影响力。该项目解决了这个问题，以扩大我们的市场。我们业务的这一阶跃变化将扩展技术平台，以实现多项成果：* 服务更多行业* 彻底改革工作实践以提高生产力* 加速业务增长* 吸引国际客户* 提高碳足迹的准确性，以便更好地做出决策。我们的方法具有创新性和颠覆性：* 通过提高自动化程度，我们将减少手动数据处理和基于 Excel 的方法的使用* 现有解决方案倾向于 由不了解行业特性的一般科学家或顾问来定义。 CarbonQuota 已经证明，绘制实际发生的具体情况并提出正确的问题会更加准确。
