SABO is the first industrial chemical company to adopt Omnisyst’s Digital Offsetting Passport for tracking and offsetting management of CO₂e emissions from waste, featuring blockchain notarization
Milan, May 26, 2026 – Industrial waste management is evolving towards new standards of traceability, transparency, and efficiency. SABO, a chemical company with industrial history dating back to the 1930s in Levate (Bergamo, Italy), and now operating internationally in the production of additives and intermediates for the plastics industry, has adopted the Digital Offsetting Passport (DOP) developed by Omnisyst, becoming the first industrial company to use this system for offsetting CO₂e emissions from waste through digital certification notarized on blockchain.
The DOP introduces a new environmental validation model: each digital passport uniquely links the calculation of emissions generated by transportation and waste treatment activities, the carbon credits used, and their related serial numbers. This certifies their actual collection and eliminates the risk of double counting.
Blockchain notarization makes the information immutable, verifiable, and audit-ready, strengthening the transparency of environmental claims in line with the evolving European regulatory framework and, in particular, with Directive (EU) 2024/825 on consumer empowerment for the green transition.
In 2025, the environmental activities generated by the Levate plant produced approximately 850 tons of CO₂e, fully offset through VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) credits collected from the international VERRA registry and certified through the Digital Offsetting Passport.
The adoption of the DOP is part of an industrial rationalization process launched in 2021 with Omnisyst for the end-to-end management of the plant’s environmental flows. The project involved the digitalization of processes, multi-sourcing, and the technical optimization of waste destinations. This has built an operating model based on a diversified network of plants and logistics, capable of ensuring operational continuity and reducing dependency on single suppliers.
“The approach developed by SABO in collaboration with Omnisyst represents an advanced model for industrial waste management, capable of combining operational efficiency, cost control, and the reliability of ESG information. In a context where transparency, data verifiability, and responsible environmental reporting are increasingly central, waste management is proving to be a strategic lever for industrial competitiveness and sustainability”, states Andrea Pezzoli, Operations Director at SABO.
“Over the past four years together with SABO, we have built a data-driven management model, in which every operational decision relies on measured data. The Digital Offsetting Passport is the natural evolution of this work: once data on carbon flows is solid, certifying and offsetting their impact becomes the next logical step. This is the same path we will extend to all our clients”, explains Leonardo Cimmarrusti, Account Manager at Omnisyst.
