BaselineStart either way
Create the product step by step, or import an existing bill of materials from your PLM or data files.
Model alternatives
Fork the baseline without overwriting it, so every proposal remains visible and comparable.
Understand the why
Use AI analysis to trace differences back to specific materials, processes, suppliers and assumptions.
Design every layer
Work at whole-product, fabric, footwear-component, packaging and trim level.

ESPR is turning eco-design from ambition into a product requirement.
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation establishes a framework for product-specific rules. Delegated acts will define which requirements apply to each product group—including durability, repairability, recycled content, environmental footprint information and Digital Product Passports where relevant.
Carbon Trail supports product modelling, evidence and scenario comparison. Your organisation and advisers remain responsible for applicability, legal interpretation and final compliance decisions.

- NextProduct-specific rulesDelegated acts define applicable requirements, methods and transition periods by product group.
- DesignEvidence in the workflowModel durability, material and impact decisions while the product is still editable.
- ShareConnected product informationCarry governed product data into reporting and Digital Product Passport workflows.
Start with a blank canvas—or the product you already make.
Both routes arrive in the same editable product record. Inputs retain their source and evidence status, so a design change never erases what the baseline was built from.

The footprint starts with material and manufacturing inputs, then updates as each component joins the product.

Eco-design the parts, not just the finished product.
Create reusable component footprints for fabrics, footwear parts, packaging and trims. Update a component once and see its effect across every product that uses it.
