OPTIMISE YOUR PACKAGING EPR

Find opportunities to reduce packaging EPR fees

Populate data gaps to avoid worst-case penalties and maximise your eco-modulation

Packaging costs can add up across the hangers, labels, tickets, stickers and other components used throughout your product range. We help brands align with PPWR, to organise and populate the material and quantity data behind those items, and identify eco-modulation opportunities, and estimate where alternative materials could reduce fees.

YOUR PACKAGING DATA = UNLOCK SAVINGS

Packaging components can be difficult to assess when information is spread across product ranges, suppliers and material references. Our packaging EPR optimisation module is designed to help you populate your data gaps and missing columns, to identify valuable saving opportunities.

Our focus is the data and optimisation layer: helping you understand the materials in your packaging and assess potential alternatives. Your existing provider can continue to manage registrations, filings and related compliance services.

Eco-modulation also applies to the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Under Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR), eco-modulation links Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees directly to packaging design and sustainability performance.

For UK retailers with substantial annual packaging EPR costs, an initial assessment could identify significant opportunities to optimise packaging and reduce fees. One UK retailer with EPR costs of £1.37 million, identified a 48% optimisation opportunity after an initial CircKit assessment, equating to approximately £712,400 in potential savings.*
