Data Insights

Outsource your packaging, WEEE or batteries data submission to us

Producer Responsibility Regulations place a legal requirement on obligated businesses to make sure the data they submit to ensure compliance is 'as accurate as reasonably possible'.

What is the Data Insights service?

Collecting, formatting and submitting compliance data can be complex and time consuming, especially when some businesses handle tens of thousands of product lines, have complex supply chains, or have compliance obligations in other countries.

Our tailored Data Insights services help ease the burden of managing data and the submission processes, and have been designed for businesses that require additional compliance support.

Regardless of the size, location or complexity of an organisation we will make the data submission process as simple as possible, whilst ensuring data accuracy.

Service options

We understand that different businesses require varying levels of support, which is why we offer flexible, tailored services and can provide as much or as little data support as required.

One option is to completely outsource the submission to us, or if you just need help to collect packaging or product weights information, we can help.

Support options include:

review of existing data collection methods
data collection and analysis, including packaging and product weights
data submission calculation
management of multi-site data and submissions
training days at customer premises
representation at Environment Agency audits
tailored environmental reporting e.g. packaging minimisation, best in class

Helping businesses to comply internationally

We not only offer this service to those affected by UK Producer Responsibility Regulations, but can also provide an International Data Insights service, where our team of experts can collate and submit compliance data to meet obligations overseas.

We currently provide Data Insights services in over 30 countries, for packaging, WEEE and batteries, and our services also cover Extended Producer Responsibility, such as textiles and furniture compliance in France.
