CARBONORM® WORKFLOW · STAGE 01
EVIDENCE LAYER

Ingest — capture every artefact at source.

Drag-and-drop your packaging BoM CSV or sync from SAP / Odoo. Auto-detects 14 manufacturer templates. Every supplier dossier, utility bill and BoM revision is deterministically hashed and timestamped on arrival — your audit trail starts at t=0, not at submission.

4 min for 400 SKUs · SHA-256 hash chain
CARBONORM® WORKFLOW · STAGE 02
GRADE ENGINE

Grade — score against the Article, cite the clause.

PPWR rule engine grades recyclability (Article 6), PCR threshold (Article 7) and substance restriction (Annex II) per SKU. Every flag links to the exact clause it triggered. D-grade items earmarked for 2030 ban, C-grade for 2038 — your reformulation queue is sorted before the auditor opens it.

A · B · C banned 2038 · D banned 2030
CARBONORM® WORKFLOW · STAGE 03
AUDIT DEFENCE

Defend — every figure traceable to source.

When the auditor questions a number, the dossier opens to the supplier attestation, the test method, and the methodology reference (RecyClass v2.4, CEN/TS 17905, EN 13427) in one click. PCR claims are cross-checked against sector norms; outliers are flagged before they reach the auditor.

● Intelligence by design

AI where it accelerates. Rules where it must defend itself.

The grading engine is rule-based and cites every Article it derives from. The acceleration layer — BoM ingestion and supplier anomaly detection — is where AI earns its keep. Two features. One philosophy.

BoM ingestion — 14 ERP templates

Drop a CSV from SAP, Odoo, Xero, or any custom ERP. The mapper detects 14 templates, normalises PCR units, and infers materials from supplier codes — even when headers are in German.

● The Compliance Lab

A laboratory mindset, applied to regulatory filing.

The audit happens whether you are ready or not. Carbonorm is the system that is ready by default — every grade cites the Article it derived from, every supplier dossier one query away.

● Common questions

What sustainability and ops leaders ask first.

Where does our data actually live?+

EU exclusively. Primary in Frankfurt (eu-central-1), backup in Stockholm (eu-north-1). No US replica, no third-country transfer. DPA available pre-signature, GDPR Article 28 compliant.

How long does onboarding take?+

Thirty minutes to a graded portfolio on a 400-SKU CSV. Single-day if you sync directly from SAP / Odoo. The free PPWR audit on your real BoM is bundled.

Do you cover both PPWR and CBAM?+

PPWR is shipping today. CBAM lands in Wave 2 (Nov 2026) on the same supplier hub — the dossiers you collect for PPWR feed CBAM XML directly.

What happens when the auditor arrives?+

Every grade decision shows the regulation text next to the SKU. The DoC PDF, the supplier attestation, the test method and the SHA-256 lineage hash are one click away. No spreadsheet wrangling.

Can we self-host?+

Enterprise tier — yes. Carbonorm provides a containerised distribution with managed migrations, your own Postgres, your own object storage. EU residency by default; custom regions on request.
