Analytics firm Datagration working with sustainable packaging manufacturer

Datagration, a Houston-based provider of analytics solutions, has been awarded a contract with Portland, Oregon-based packaging manufacturer D6 Inc., a vertically integrated company with the ability to utilize up to 100 percent postconsumer recycled content in its polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and aluminum packaging.

According to Datagration, D6’s approach involves the collection, cleaning and upcycling of scrap into high-quality, food-grade packaging products. As a responsible end market (REM) recollector, D6 ensures products and resources are managed responsibly and sustainably, preventing environmental harm through collection and recycling.

Under the terms of the contract, D6 will leverage Datagration’s EcoVisor ESG (environmental, social and governance) and Sustainability Performance Management platform. D6 aims to become the world’s first carbon neutral packaging company by 2030, and the integration of data to accelerate its sustainability initiatives and optimize its environmental footprint across its manufacturing operations is a key to achieving its goal.

Additionally, D6 will leverage EcoVisor in community recycling initiatives to monitor and track progress to circularity in partnership with major retailers.

“We are thrilled to partner with D6 to support their sustainability efforts and help them achieve their environmental objectives,” Datagration Chairman and CEO Peter Bernard says. “Our EcoVisor platform is uniquely positioned to provide D6 with the visibility and transparency they need to drive sustainable practices throughout their organization, ultimately contributing to a more environmentally responsible packaging industry.”

Datagration says its EcoVisor program was selected for its robust capabilities, user-friendly interface and track record of delivering measurable results. The platform allows organizations to monitor, measure and manage their ESG and sustainability performance in real-time, providing actionable insights to drive improvement and reach sustainability goals. EcoVisor enables companies such as D6 to track key environmental metrics, identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.

“We are excited to partner with Datagration and integrate their EcoVisor platform into our operations,” D6 President and CEO Edward Dominion says. “As a company dedicated to speed, precision and sustainability, we believe that leveraging advanced analytics and technology is essential to driving positive change and achieving our sustainability goals. With EcoVisor, we are confident that we can enhance our environmental performance and continue to deliver innovative, eco-friendly packaging solutions to our customers worldwide.”
