Data and reporting
Packaging records broken down to each individual component, with material, weight and attributes captured separately rather than as a SKU total.
A SKU-level record says a pack weighs 48 grams. A component-level record says the bottle is 32 grams PET, the closure 4 grams PP, the sleeve 2 grams PVC and the carton 10 grams corrugated fibre. Only the second can answer a modulated fee question, a recyclability grade question or a recycled content question.
Almost every modern requirement, from eco-modulation to PPWR design grades to the UK RAM assessment, is defined at component level. Companies that migrated to component-level data typically did so because a fee penalty could not be explained without it.
The migration is a data exercise rather than a compliance one: establish a component schema, backfill from specifications and supplier declarations, then attach jurisdiction logic on top.
The annual declaration of packaging weight by material category placed on a market, and the basis for nearly every EPR invoice.
Adjusting EPR fees up or down according to the environmental performance of the packaging, rewarding recyclable design and penalising problem formats.
A machine-readable record of a product's material, circularity and compliance data, accessed through a data carrier such as a QR code.
Packgine resolves your packaging to component level and applies the rules of every market you sell into.
