Packaging data services
Optimise your packaging and drive your strategy to reduce your environmental impact
Optimise your producer responsibilities
Having an accurate and reliable packaging portfolio dataset is critical.
It will enable you to prepare for increased data reporting requirements and identify where your liabilities lie for the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the Deposit Return Schemes (DRS).
Not only that - with the right data in place you can strategically focus efforts on reducing those costs and your environmental impacts with ease.
We're here to help you get there in four steps:
1. Prepare your business
Before working on your packaging data we can help you understand what needs to be taken into consideration – including PPT, EPR, DRS and any voluntary drivers such as a plastic reduction commitment. Our team can then assess your existing data to help you quickly get prepared. We can help:
- Understand how EPR impacts you
- Model your regulatory costs
- Check your data coverage & accuracy
- Plan your data collection process
2. Collect the right packaging data
Our experienced team will support you with both internal and supplier data collection. We know this is more often easier said than done and that the quality of your database will only ever be as good as the data going in. We can help to:
- Collect in-house and supply chain data
- Facilitate regular data gathering
- Centralise the required packaging data
- Externalise your data collection
3. Comply with your obligations
Once you have accurate data flowing in, you need to be sure that it is used to efficiently comply with any obligations you have, accurately and on time. We can:
- Validate your data accuracy
- Complete your data reporting obligations
- Calculate your regulatory obligations
4. Improve your packaging portfolio
Data visualisations of your current and estimated future costs will drive strategic decision-making, taking the pain out of deciding how to optimise your product and packaging portfolio to reduce your PPT, EPR, DRS and environmental impacts. It will also define strategies to meet your recyclability goals. We can help you:
- Gain material management insights
- Increase data coverage and accuracy
- Assess UK and international obligations
- Reduce environmental and financial impacts
- Identify suppliers/SKUs/product lines to improve
- Access bespoke data consultancy
