Sustainability-driven PLM
PLM extensions that integrate lifecycle assessment, carbon footprint tracking, and material/compliance intelligence into the design phase. Examples: Makersite, Sourcemap.
Why it matters
Sustainability is becoming regulatory requirement (EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, SEC climate disclosure). Startups like Makersite win by embedding this intelligence into design workflows, not as post-hoc compliance.
