Esko, eProductivity Software (ePS), and CarbonQuota have announced a partnership to automate carbon reporting across packaging workflows.
The collaboration integrates premedia automation systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and carbon calculation tools into a single process designed to improve efficiency and data consistency.
The solution connects Esko’s Automation Engine and S2 platform with ePS’s ERP system and CarbonQuota’s carbon measurement engine, creating a unified job record from packaging design through to final delivery. The companies state that this structure enables automated carbon footprint data to be generated without manual re-entry or data duplication.
The integration is focused on the premedia stage, where synchronised data exchange is essential for both operational control and sustainability reporting. Automating this step is intended to reduce errors, improve traceability, and support businesses that are required to report on environmental impact at the product level.
“Converters can now access automated and accurate carbon footprint data without adding burden to their teams,” said Adam Burling, Sustainability Product Manager at Esko.
Glyn Scott, Product Manager at eProductivity Software, said, “Our integration ensures the transfer of data between ERP and prepress is seamless, removing the time, cost, and risk that comes with manual rekeying.”
The partnership reflects increasing industry demands for more reliable and auditable carbon data in packaging supply chains, particularly as regulatory and client expectations grow.
By embedding carbon reporting directly into production workflows, the solution aims to support better-informed
decision-making.
