Answer OEM requests for CO2 per part and prepare battery passports
Vehicle makers ask suppliers for the carbon footprint and recycled content of each part, and batteries will need a digital passport. MARCO collects the data from your suppliers, calculates it per part and shares it through a passport your customers can scan.
What you are asked to prove
EU Battery Regulation
From February 2027, EV and industrial batteries need a digital passport with carbon footprint, material origin and recycled content, reached by a QR code.
OEM CO2 per part requests
Vehicle makers set CO2 targets for purchased parts and ask their suppliers for a product carbon footprint per part, built from primary data.
End-of-life Vehicles Regulation
The new rules will set minimum recycled plastic content for new vehicles, and suppliers will need records of where recycled material came from.
How MARCO helps
One platform for every regulation you report on, configured around your materials, sites and schemes.
Carbon footprint per part
GHG & PCF takes the footprint of the coil, ingot or compound from your supplier, adds your own process and energy data and calculates a footprint per part. You answer OEM requests with primary data rather than averages.
Recycled content and scrap loops
Mass Balance keeps a ledger of recycled and low-carbon material bought for each plant, so the content you assign to an OEM programme never exceeds what you received. Scrap returned to the mill can be recorded in the same chain.
One passport model, issued per unit
Digital Product Passport lets you model a part or battery once and issue a passport per unit or batch, with GS1 identifiers and QR codes. It covers what the Battery Regulation requires and what OEMs ask for.
Supplier data without chasing
Tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers enter certificates and footprints through their own portal, and MARCO connects to SAP or Microsoft systems. Every record is sealed so your customer can verify it.
4.2M parts
Gestamp issues one MARCO passport covering 4.2M parts it supplies to a vehicle maker.
