Bidding On New Contracts With TDS, SDS, Carbon Report

The Heartland team has been sending carbon emissions data with TDS and SDS when bidding on new programs for 5 years. One of our sales points when asking customers to change from an existing material like Talc or Glass Fiber is that the cost and emissions go down.

We have been pushing to include carbon emissions on TDS and SDS sheets for years, and now that we have Carbon Report we’re able to add a new report to our catalog of files we send to customers.

Removing All Friction To Adopt Emissions Tracking With Carbon Report

Carbon footprint tracking is the biggest nuisance. Not only do all of our customers use different enterprise software, but each of them wants additional payments for using their tools. We found this was not feasible for ourselves and for anyone else in our market. So the simple answer was no one tracked emissions.

Carbon Report has allowed our team to reimagine reporting, not as much about emissions tracking but as a means to drive efficiency and tactical changes to our process to become more profitable.

Our customers are able to track the emissions of their products from the material, through each individual part, to the assembled finished good. This has been a revolutionary simplification of technology.

Cost Savings Opportunities For Packaging and Logistics

The Carbon Report team is currently working on new features that would help our team manage scrap waste by identifying local buyers. The idea of converting a waste fee into a new income stream is an incredible step forward and helps us drive profitability.

Another key feature I’ve been told is coming down the pipeline is a negotiation tactic for pricing out logistics, providing more information into our hands to help reduce costs of shipping.
