CarbonQuota Launches Quanterra, MakingEnvironmental Intelligence Accessible toManufacturers, Brands and Retailers
A new AI-powered cloud platform enables organisations to generate Product Carbon Footprints in real time, with broader environmental and compliance reporting capabilities being added in the weeks ahead.
CarbonQuota has announced the launch of Quanterra, a new AI-powered Environmental Intelligence Platform designed to help manufacturers, converters, brands and retailers create, manage and communicate environmental information across products, packaging and supply chains.
Built on CarbonQuota's proprietary environmental datasets, scientifically robust methodologies and advanced automation technologies, Quanterra transforms the way organisations generate environmental information, making it faster, simpler and more cost-effective to produce trusted sustainability data. The launch comes at a time when businesses across the packaging, labels, folding carton, corrugated, flexible packaging, point-of-sale, direct mail, marketing, advertising, commercial print and manufacturing sectors are facing growing demands for environmental transparency from customers, retailers, regulators and investors.
Whether supplying packaging to global FMCG brands, producing products for retailers, or managing complex procurement and supply chains, organisations are increasingly being asked to provide credible environmental information. Yet for many businesses, environmental reporting remains heavily reliant on spreadsheets, manual data gathering and disconnected systems.
CarbonQuota developed Quanterra to solve this challenge.
The cloud-based platform enables users to upload product specifications, packaging data, technical documents and manufacturing information. Using advanced AI, Quanterra interprets the available data, identifies information gaps, guides users through the collection of additional information where required, and automatically generates Product Carbon Footprints and supporting environmental reporting outputs. The result is a simple, intelligent workflow that turns product and operational data into trusted environmental intelligence. "Over the last several years we've worked with manufacturers, printers, packaging converters, brands and retailers of all sizes," said Dominic Harris, Co-founder of CarbonQuota.
"One challenge consistently emerges. Organisations understand that environmental reporting is becoming increasingly important, but it must compete with countless other priorities for time, budget and internal resource. "Many businesses simply don't have the capacity to undertake long software implementations, costly consultancy projects or complex data collection exercises. We developed Quanterra to give organisations a faster, simpler and much more affordable way to access trusted environmental intelligence."
Unlike traditional environmental software solutions, Quanterra has been designed for rapid adoption. Delivered as a cloud-based subscription platform, organisations can begin generating environmental intelligence without lengthy implementation projects, extensive training programmes or significant upfront investment. The platform operates on a flexible month-to-month subscription model, allowing businesses to access CarbonQuota's environmental intelligence capabilities quickly and cost-effectively.
Launching with Product Carbon Footprints
While CarbonQuota has historically been recognised for its expertise in carbon footprints, Quanterra represents a significant expansion of the company's vision. The platform launches initially with Product Carbon Footprint capabilities, enabling organisations to generate robust carbon footprints directly from product specifications, packaging information and
manufacturing data.
CarbonQuota has chosen to launch with carbon first because it remains the most established and widely requested environmental metric across global supply chains. However, Quanterra has been designed as a broader Environmental Intelligence platform from the outset. Additional capabilities are already scheduled for release in the coming weeks, extending reporting beyond carbon to include areas such as water consumption, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
reporting, Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) compliance requirements, and the wider requirements of Digital Product Passports. "Product carbon footprints are the logical starting point because they remain the foundation of many customer, retailer and regulatory requests," said Harris. "But our vision has always been much bigger than carbon.
"Organisations are increasingly being asked to provide information on a much broader range of environmental impacts and compliance requirements. Quanterra has been designed to evolve rapidly beyond carbon footprinting into areas such as water, EPR and PPWR compliance. "Our goal is simple: one platform where organisations can create, manage and communicate all of their environmental intelligence."
Environmental Intelligence Powered by AI
CarbonQuota believes the future of sustainability management lies in Environmental Intelligence. While AI powers the user experience and automation capabilities within Quanterra, the foundation of the platform is CarbonQuota's proprietary environmental data, scientific methodologies and environmental expertise. "The challenge is not access to AI itself; it is access to credible environmental data and scientifically robust methodologies," said Harris. "Everyone now has access to AI tools. What organisations don't have access to is years of environmental expertise, proprietary environmental datasets and proven calculation methodologies. "That's what makes Quanterra different. AI is the enabler. The real value comes from the environmental intelligence that sits beneath it." By combining AI with CarbonQuota's environmental data and specialist knowledge, Quanterra enables organisations to generate trusted environmental information at a speed and scale that has previously been difficult to achieve.
Built for Manufacturers, Brands and Retailers
Quanterra has been designed to support organisations across the entire supply chain. For manufacturers and converters, the platform provides a simple way to generate environmental information directly from product specifications and manufacturing data. For brands and retailers, Quanterra provides access to consistent environmental intelligence across
purchased products, packaging portfolios and supplier networks. This common approach helps organisations create, manage and communicate environmental information using a shared framework, improving consistency, transparency and collaboration throughout the supply chain.
Extending Existing CarbonQuota Solutions
Quanterra compliments CarbonQuota's broader Environmental Intelligence portfolio. Many organisations already utilise CarbonQuota's environmental capabilities through workflow automation solutions, APIs and industry integrations embedded within existing business systems and operational workflows. Quanterra makes those capabilities accessible through a simple cloud-based platform, allowing organisations to benefit from CarbonQuota's environmental science, data and methodologies without requiring complex implementation projects. For businesses with more advanced requirements, Quanterra can operate alongside CarbonQuota's existing API and enterprise solutions, creating a scalable pathway from self-service environmental reporting to fully integrated environmental intelligence workflows.
Faster to Deploy. Easier to Use. More Affordable.
A key objective behind the development of Quanterra was to remove the barriers that have traditionally limited environmental reporting. The platform has been designed to eliminate lengthy software deployments, reduce reliance on specialist expertise and provide organisations with a practical route to obtaining credible environmental information. By combining intuitive workflows, advanced AI, proprietary environmental data and a flexible subscription model, Quanterra delivers a significantly more accessible approach to environmental intelligence than traditional enterprise sustainability software.
