sustamizer CO2e Data & Product Carbon Footprint Platform

sustamize GmbH is a Munich-based German company led by founder and CEO Michael Kochs that provides verified CO2e data and tools for product carbon footprints and Scope 3 emissions. It serves manufacturers in automotive, electronics, packaging and industrial sectors, software providers and consultants, and helps non-EU suppliers produce the footprint data European customers now request. It is a member of Catena-X.

The sustamizer platform combines a CO2e database covering materials such as metals, polymers and composites, electronics, manufacturing processes, energy, logistics and standard parts like bearings and pins, updated twice a year and aligned with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067. An AI Matcher maps custom bill-of-materials names to database entries, assembly tools build PCFs without deep LCA expertise, and an API feeds data into ERP, PLM, cost engineering and carbon accounting software. Users and partners include Siemens, SAP, PwC, Climatiq and Facton.

• CO2e database: emission factors for materials, electronics, processes, energy, logistics and standard parts.
• AI Matcher: maps custom bill-of-materials names to the right database entries.
• PCF builder: creates product carbon footprints without deep LCA expertise.
• Supplier data support: standardised PCFs for non-EU suppliers serving European customers.
• API integration: feeds data into ERP, PLM, cost engineering and procurement tools.
• Regular updates: databases maintained and updated twice a year under GHG Protocol and ISO 14067.

A Vietnamese mechanical or electronic component maker supplying German customers can calculate PCFs per part from its bill of materials. A cost engineering or procurement team can compare the carbon of design and sourcing options alongside cost. A local software or ESG consulting firm can license the database through the API to power its own carbon tools.

Manufacturers can build product carbon footprints from their bills of materials without commissioning a full LCA study, filling supplier data gaps with consistent secondary data. Non-EU suppliers can provide standardised PCFs for CSRD, ESPR and digital product passport requests from European customers. The company reports more than 100 companies using its data, and a 14-day free trial is available.

European automakers and industrial buyers, organised through initiatives such as Catena-X, increasingly require product carbon footprints from their suppliers, while CBAM and CSRD raise the cost of missing data. Vietnam's growing base of electronics, mechanical and automotive component suppliers will need credible PCFs to stay in these supply chains.
