worldwatchers + anybill

Worldwatchers provides companies with technologies and data to measure, optimize and manage product carbon footprints. Worldwatchers combines scientifically based data with industrial know-how. With the interface to the worldwatchers CO2 database, automated product carbon footprints can be calculated and reported based on product information. This gives all buyers an indication of their own purchasing footprint.

Working with anybill

worldwatchers provides technologies and data to measure, optimize and manage product carbon footprints — scientifically based and with industrial know-how. Retailers can use the anybill digital receipt to surface that footprint indication after the purchase without replacing the CO2 database or the calculation from product information.

The interface to the worldwatchers CO2 database remains where automated product carbon footprints are calculated and reported. anybill is the channel where buyers can read the indication of their own purchasing footprint. A live coupling is not assumed by default; teams can bring both sides together where product information and the receipt align.

Who this is for

This is for companies that steer product carbon footprints on a scientific basis and do not want the figure to live only inside the CO2 database. Anyone combining worldwatchers’ industrial know-how with reported footprints can use anybill as the post-transaction surface — for professional buyers and for shoppers at the shelf.

It also fits marketing and sustainability teams that treat the transaction as a control metric: the purchase supplies product information, worldwatchers supplies the automated footprint, anybill can show it on the digital receipt. No new measurement method, no invented certificates — the existing scientific data basis stays in place.

Value in brick-and-mortar retail

In the store the receipt becomes a transparency surface: after the scan the anybill digital receipt can carry the product carbon footprint worldwatchers calculates from product information. Buyers get the indication of the shopping footprint not only in the backend but on the receipt — while measuring, optimizing and managing stay in the CO2 database.

Brick-and-mortar retail keeps scientifically based data and industrial know-how from worldwatchers and still issues a contemporary receipt. Fewer anonymous paper slips, more connection from the store transaction to the managed carbon footprint — without turning the till into life-cycle software.
