New software tracks emissions on food tray supply chain

Associated Packaging Technologies, a company that manufacturers billions of food trays every year, plans to use First Carbon’s ghg Track Software to track and reduce emissions generated by its global supply chain. The company claims it is the world's top producer of Crystallized Polyethylene Terephthalate dual-ovenable plastic containers, with 2.5 billion produced annually. APT has established a greenhouse gas baseline and plans to use the software to help it report emissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project.

"APT maintains a very strong legacy as a sustainable company and we consider effective supply chain GHG emissions reporting and reduction critical to our growth," Tony Gallo, APT's senior director of sustainability and applications development, said in a statement. "FirstCarbon Solutions combines the software tools and expertise to aid us in managing sustainability data, making calculating, reporting and reducing GHG emissions across the supply chain much more manageable."

FirstCarbon isn't the only carbon management software to find new clients. In the past few months, Hara and ENXSuite (formerly Carbonetworks) added the cities of Las Vegas and Chicago to their lists of customers.
