The core choice here is whether you want packaging data handled for you or handled by your own team in software.

Ecoveritas is a packaging data and compliance specialist with a strong UK base, known for taking messy packaging data off a client's hands and returning clean, submission ready outputs. It is a service led model supported by technology.
Packgine is a product led model: your team owns the dataset inside the platform, and the software handles mapping, fee modelling, and reporting output. Both routes can produce a compliant filing. They differ in who does the work and where the data lives afterwards.
| Criterion | Packgine | Ecoveritas |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction coverage | Nine US state EPR programs, 27 EU member states, and the UK, all on one dataset with PPWR readiness. | Strong UK and European packaging data coverage, delivered largely through managed service engagements. |
| Eco-modulation modelling | Self serve scenario modelling against published fee schedules, run as often as you like. | Fee analysis provided as part of an engagement, so iteration depends on the service agreement. |
| Recyclability grading | Recyclability grading and PPWR readiness scoring in the platform. | Recyclability assessment offered within consultancy work rather than as continuous in product scoring. |
| Integrations | Shopify and Amazon import on every tier, ERP connectors and REST API at Enterprise. | Data typically exchanged through templates and files as part of the managed process. |
| Pricing model | Custom software quote, three tiers, sized by SKU and jurisdiction count. | Service fees scoped by data volume and engagement scope, not publicly listed. |
| Deployment time | Days for a connected catalog, weeks for multi-entity ERP rollouts. | Time to first output depends on how quickly your packaging data can be gathered and handed over. |
Ecoveritas is genuinely good at the least glamorous part of this problem: cleaning packaging data that arrives incomplete, inconsistent, or in supplier spreadsheets. For a team facing UK packaging EPR with no reliable packaging bill of materials, having specialists do that work is a rational way to hit a deadline.
Its consultancy depth on UK obligations is well regarded, and a managed service removes the need to build internal capability, which some organisations will never want to do.
A common sequence is a service engagement to clean historic packaging data once, followed by a platform to keep it accurate. Ask any vendor whether you receive the cleaned dataset in a portable format at the end.
Send us your SKU count and the jurisdictions you sell into, and we will show one full filing cycle against your portfolio.
