From supplier PDFs to a report you can sign.
Sunrise Snacks sells 25 SKUs in California. Under SB 54 they must report every packaging component — material, weight, and category — to Circular Action Alliance (CAA). This demo shows exactly how PackLedgerAI prepares that file.
No new system for suppliers. Sunrise just dropped the spec sheets they already had — pouches, cartons, tubs, labels, jars, and shipping cases.
Spec sheets, drawings, emails exported as PDF — any format.
PackLedgerAI reads tables, footnotes, and scanned pages.
Ready — 12 files staged, 0 uploaded in this demo (sample data).
Every component pulled out with its material, weight, California category — and the exact source line it came from, so an auditor can check it in seconds.
SS-001 pouch film (3.42 g) and SS-001 zip closure (0.61 g) — each mapped to its own CA category, not lumped as “plastic pouch.”
If a PDF doesn’t say it, we don’t invent it. Six items are flagged, excluded from the totals, and turned into a one-line ask for the supplier.
Totals in the format CAA expects — by material and by California’s packaging categories. PackLedgerAI prepares it. Sunrise files it to CAA themselves. We do not file on their behalf.
Base fees $27,300 − eco-modulation credit $2,184 (recycled content in cartons & PET tubs) = $25,116 • About $0.012 per unit sold in CA.
Planning estimate only, using illustrative rates in CAA’s fee structure. Final fees are set by CAA. The 6 flagged items are excluded — the total will rise slightly once they’re resolved.
Excel for CAA — one row per component, 64 rows, mapped to CA categories, ready to paste into CAA’s reporting portal.
PDF summary — 3-page board-ready summary: totals, fee estimate, flags, and approval page.
The ledger in PackLedger. Every version, every approver, every timestamp — kept so Sunrise can show CAA, an auditor, or their own board exactly who signed what.
Try it — add your own approval. It appears in the log with today’s date and time, in this demo session only.
Status after approval: Ready for Sunrise to file to CAA — PackLedgerAI does not submit it.
