    DTC Supplement Brand

    Challenge

    A fast-growing DTC supplement brand selling via Shopify was shipping to customers in California and Oregon without realizing they were covered under both SB54 and Oregon SB582. The two-person sustainability team had no EPR experience.

    Solution

    Packgine connected to their Shopify store, identified EPR obligations in both states, and automated producer registration tracking, packaging data classification, and report generation. The team went from zero EPR awareness to full compliance without hiring additional staff.

    Result

    Fully compliant with SB54 and Oregon EPR in under 2 weeks

    Global CPG Enterprise

    Challenge

    A multinational CPG company was managing EPR compliance across 12 US states and preparing for EU PPWR using disconnected spreadsheets maintained by teams in three different offices. Reporting errors and missed deadlines were creating penalty risk.

    Solution

    Packgine consolidated all packaging data into one structured system, automated jurisdiction-specific report generation, and created a unified compliance calendar. The platform pulled data from their SAP instance and mapped it to each state's and the EU's requirements.

    Result

    12-state EPR reporting and EU PPWR readiness managed from one dashboard

    Beauty Brand Entering EU

    Challenge

    A US-based beauty brand expanding into the EU needed to assess their packaging portfolio against PPWR recyclability requirements. Their complex multi-material formats (pumps, compacts, tube assemblies) were expected to receive poor recyclability grades and high eco-modulated fees.

    Solution

    Packgine scored every packaging format against PPWR recyclability criteria and modeled the fee impact of format redesigns. The brand identified three high-volume SKUs where switching to monomaterial alternatives would significantly reduce fee exposure.

    Result

    Reduced projected eco-modulated fee exposure by 23% through targeted packaging redesigns
