MAKING CARBON DATA MORE…
ACROSS THE PRINT BUYING PROCESS
THE PURPOSE OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Print & Display is working with CarbonQuota to give customers faster, clearer and more practical access to product carbon footprint data at the point of estimate.
By integrating CarbonQuota’s carbon calculation methodology within Clarity (our existing estimating system), we can calculate product carbon footprints using live job specifications. This means carbon data can be returned directly into the estimating workflow and included on customer estimates, helping buyers understand the potential carbon impact of their choices before decisions are made.
This partnership is designed to make carbon insight more visible, measurable and useful across the print buying process. Rather than treating carbon reporting as a separate exercise, it becomes part of everyday commercial activity.
BENEFITS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
For customers, the value is clear: better visibility, better conversations and better decision-making.
Product carbon footprint data can help print buyers compare materials, formats, quantities and production options with greater confidence. This makes it easier to identify where carbon reductions may be possible, while still balancing quality, cost, performance and commercial objectives.
As sustainability expectations continue to rise across procurement, tenders and corporate reporting, customers increasingly need credible evidence to support their own environmental goals. By providing product-level carbon data through a trusted workflow, Print & Display can help customers make informed choices based on practical, evidence-based insight rather than broad sustainability claims.
BENEFITS FOR P&D
For Print & Display, the CarbonQuota integration reduces manual effort, improves consistency and makes product carbon footprint calculations easier to scale across a wider range of jobs.
By embedding carbon data directly into Clarity, our teams can respond more quickly to growing customer demand for credible sustainability information, without adding unnecessary complexity to the estimating process.
This also strengthens our position as sustainability becomes an increasingly important part of print, display and retail procurement. It allows us to provide customers with meaningful carbon information at the right stage of the project, while supporting more informed commercial and production conversations.
BENEFITS OF THE PROCESS
CarbonQuota’s methodology uses detailed activity data from Print & Display’s operations, including paper specifications, machine running times and site energy mixes, to produce accurate and defensible product carbon footprints.
These footprints are cradle-to-grave, covering materials, production, distribution and end-of-life waste. This gives customers a more complete view of the carbon impact associated with their print and display projects.
By building this process into the existing estimating workflow, carbon insight becomes faster to access, easier to understand and more practical to use. Together, Print & Display and CarbonQuota are helping turn sustainability from a reporting exercise into a useful decision-making tool.
