Transport emissions do not depend on distance alone. The selected packaging concept determines how many parts fit into each container, how many load carriers are required and how much weight and volume must be transported. Pakera brings this simulation data directly into the emissions scenario.

Different containers, packing methods and packaging hierarchies can change the number of load carriers, gross weight and transport volume required for the same quantity of parts. Pakera helps teams compare the resulting transport emissions before choosing a standard.

Pakera proudly partners with EcoTransIT World to make transport-related emissions more transparent. Based on the simulation results and the selected route, emissions are calculated according to ISO 14083 and GLEC Framework giving teams a standardized and credible basis for environmental impact assessment.
With Pakera and EcoTransIT World, transport-related emissions can be considered much earlier in the process. Instead of being assessed only after the fact, they can already be factored into packaging decisions during product development. The required API is already integrated into Pakera and ready for immediate use.

Worth it after just 2–3 hours saved
Pakera pays for itself fast. If your team saves just 2–3 hours a month on packaging calculations, physical packing tests, estimating parts per container, freight cost checks, packaging instructions, spreadsheet work, supplier alignment, or internal back-and-forth, the subscription more than covers itself - without needing a big ROI project to justify it.
