EPR is Here: Turn Packaging Compliance into a Business Opportunity with Sustinu
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) isn't just a new regulation; it's a game-changer for businesses across Europe.
At its heart, it's a powerful, yet simple, idea: if your company puts packaging into the market, you're now responsible for its entire journey – from when it's made to when it's collected and recycled.
For many, this sounds like just another layer of paperwork and complexity.
But what if you could flip that script? What if this regulatory requirement could actually become a clear business opportunity? With the right tools, it absolutely can.
The time to act on sustainability is now, and Sustinu is the platform specifically designed to help you do just that.
Beyond the Definition: What EPR Really Means for You
In plain terms, this means your business needs to meticulously track, categorize, and report on every single piece of packaging you use.
We're talking plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, metals – the whole lot.
You'll then submit these detailed reports to a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO), which uses your data to figure out the fees you owe for waste management.
The big problem? All this crucial data is often buried deep within thousands of lines across countless supplier invoices, and guess what?
There's no standard format. Manually trying to pull this information out isn't just a massive time sink; it's a recipe for expensive errors and, even worse, missed chances to actually reduce your fees.
Sustinu: Your Smart Partner for the New Reality
We take the complexity of these regulations and transform them into a straightforward, automated workflow.
- Automated Data Discovery: Forget the manual hunting. Sustinu scans your invoices and automatically suggests potential packaging items and their weights.
This dramatically cuts down on errors and frees up your team to focus on more valuable tasks. - A System for Savings: A core part of modern EPR is about rewarding sustainability. By using and proving your use of recycled content, you can significantly lower those PRO fees.
Sustinu gives you a dedicated system to track the recycled content percentage of each material, providing you with the verifiable data you need to unlock those savings. - Dual-Purpose Reporting for Total Clarity: Compliance is only half the story, right? Sustinu generates two critical outputs from your data:
