What it does
Submit your packaging portfolio and production/import data. The Carbon Tax Analyst calculates carbon cost exposure from EU ETS, UK ETS, CBAM imports, and applicable carbon taxes by country — with the material switch that reduces carbon tax liability most efficiently.
Example use case
A packaging buyer imports aluminium foil from the UAE and buys glass bottles from a UK plant. The analyst calculates CBAM liability on the aluminium (£32,000/year) and models switching to recycled aluminium foil — 90% CBAM reduction at a material premium of £9,000, net saving £23,000.
Frequently asked questions
What carbon prices are used?
EU ETS current market price, UK ETS price, and CBAM certificate price — all noted as estimates with the reference date.
Is CBAM the same as ETS?
CBAM uses the EU ETS price as its reference but applies to imports. EU ETS covers domestic production.
What materials have highest carbon exposure?
Aluminium primary and glass have the highest energy/carbon intensity. Corrugated and plastic are lower.
