How MPP Accelerated Sustainable Packaging Innovation With The ECO-OS ESG Platform

Executive Summary

MPP Group, a global leader in responsible food packaging, set out to strengthen its position in the European market and expand into new customer segments where sustainability credentials are critical. With more than six decades of experience, multiple production sites, and a reputation for innovation and quality, MPP faced growing pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of its products while meeting strict EU regulations and customer expectations.

To address this challenge, MPP leveraged its advanced R&D capabilities and partnered with ECO-OS to accelerate the development of lower-carbon packaging solutions. By integrating ECO-OS’s data-driven ESG platform into its operations, MPP was able to model material substitutions at scale, validate trade-offs in real time, and confidently bring new products to market.

The collaboration delivered measurable impact: MPP launched a new low-carbon tray, cut material decision cycles by 30%, doubled the number of validated alternatives, and introduced the C-Mulator™, an interactive tool that lets customers clearly visualize the carbon savings achieved when using MPP’s products. Together, these achievements reinforced MPP’s leadership in sustainable packaging while transforming ESG data into a powerful driver of growth and market differentiation.

The Challenge

MPP Group set out to lower the carbon footprint of its products while strengthening its climate resilience strategy.

At the same time, the company was looking to strengthen its presence in the EU, where sustainability credentials are increasingly critical for customer acceptance and regulatory compliance.

This created several challenges for MPP:

• Uncertainty around material substitutions

  MPP knew that switching raw materials could reduce carbon emissions, but it was difficult to predict which options would deliver environmental gains without compromising on quality, safety, or efficiency.

• No scalable way to test trade-offs

  Evaluating new material combinations was slow and manual, making it hard to model changes at scale or identify the best-performing alternatives.

• Market readiness pressure

  To meet the expectations of EU buyers and regulators, MPP needed a faster, more data-driven way to validate low-carbon packaging solutions—and bring them to market with confidence.

The Solution

To navigate the complexities of sustainable transformation and EU market entry, MPP Group turned to the ECO-OS ESG Platform—a purpose-built solution for managing ESG performance in industrial supply chains.

With ECO-OS, MPP was able to centralize its sustainability data, streamline decision-making, and accelerate its path to compliance and climate resilience.

Why MPP Chose the ECO-OS ESG Accounting Platform

1. Clear, connected ESG data

   MPP harnessed the ECO-OS platform to consolidate data from across its global supply chain, giving its teams a single source of truth on emissions, materials, and risk exposure, enabling smarter, faster decisions across teams.

2. Scenario modeling at scale

   Leveraging ECO-OS’s scenario modeling, MPP’s innovation teams were able to test different sustainability strategies, helping the company prioritize the most impactful material substitutions.

3. Compliance-ready reporting

   MPP used ECO-OS to ensure its disclosures met strict EU compliance standards, reinforcing customer trust and demonstrating its commitment to leadership in sustainable packaging.

4. Strategic foresight, not just tracking

   MPP turned ESG data into a foundation for long-term competitiveness and innovation, using ECO-OS to identify future risks and opportunities that would shape its growth strategy.

Conclusions

MPP Group demonstrated that achieving climate goals and meeting the expectations of European markets requires not just ambition but innovation and leadership. By harnessing its R&D expertise and integrating the ECO-OS platform into its operations, MPP simplified complexity, accelerated decision-making, and transformed ESG data into a driver of product innovation and market growth.

With the launch of the C-Mulator™, MPP translated internal sustainability insights into a powerful customer-facing advantage, giving buyers a clear view of the carbon savings achieved through MPP products. This step reinforced MPP’s reputation as a packaging leader committed to transparency, innovation, and measurable climate impact.

Collaborating with MPP was a true partnership. Their drive to innovate and lead in sustainable packaging made it easy for ECO-OS to add value, and we’re proud to have supported their vision.
