## What Is The Current Cost of Carbon Emissions Reporting For Manufacturers?

The cost of carbon emissions reporting varies depending on where you are in the supply chain.

As a raw material supplier, you might have spent $25,000 or more for a single LCA on your materials. Depending on how many materials you ship, your costs could increase exponentially.

For a part maker, emissions tracking can be complex, needing information on the materials, energy, packaging, and logistics of your products. If you have many customers, they all might require a different standard, costing anywhere from $10,000–$15,000 per supplier. This can add up quickly if you provide multiple customers' emissions data.

As a brand owner, it can be the most complex and expensive — ranging from $50,000 to millions, connecting the dots across your supplier base can feel like an impossible task.

## What Is The Cost of Carbon Report For Manufacturers?

[Carbon Report](/) was designed with manufacturers in mind — not by engineers who haven't been on a floor. We understand the pressure from brands to get carbon reporting data before you win business. That is a huge ask, especially when existing solutions cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Carbon Report has the first product free, and costs $9.99/month after that per product. So every customer you do business with costs you 2 cups of coffee and 10 minutes of your time.

## What Is The Carbon Report ROI and How Do I Make Money?

Carbon Report is more than a compliance tool — we are creating entirely new income streams for manufacturers and eliminating landfill.

Our focus for optimization has been in these three areas:

### Scrap Material Income Streams

Carbon Report is partnering with LTL (Less than Truckload) firms to acquire scrap that is otherwise thrown into landfill because of the small volumes. This is only possible because of our routing tools that enable high-density collection of single-stream PIR (Post Industrial Recycled) material.

### Logistics Optimization

Carbon Report has identified price-saving opportunities for all routes by comparing route-level gas pricing with national averages to give our manufacturers more ammunition when negotiating with logistics providers.
