Data and reporting
The annual declaration of packaging weight by material category placed on a market, and the basis for nearly every EPR invoice.
Tonnage reporting converts sales volume into packaging weight by material and jurisdiction. The calculation is simple; the data lineage is not. It requires units sold resolved to the market of first placement, multiplied by verified component weights, classified into the scheme's material categories.
Common errors are systematic rather than random: using shipped rather than sold units, missing intercompany transfers, ignoring promotional packaging, and applying a global bill of materials to a regionally different pack.
Because schemes audit retrospectively, the reporting method should be documented and reproducible. An auditable trail from ERP extract to submitted figure is worth more than a precise number no one can reconstruct.
Packaging records broken down to each individual component, with material, weight and attributes captured separately rather than as a SKU total.
The per-tonne charge for a packaging material category before eco-modulation bonuses or penalties are applied.
The legal moment when packaging first becomes available in a jurisdiction, determining which entity and which year the obligation falls in.
Packgine resolves your packaging to component level and applies the rules of every market you sell into.
