Our Supplier Data Hub allows suppliers to log key information to help you with compliance reporting.
For many businesses, compliance across multiple environmental regulations introduces significant complexity. Requirements covering packaging under Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) and the UK’s Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) requirements (RAM), as well as electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), batteries, and textiles, often rely on detailed supplier data. Common challenges include chasing suppliers for accurate and complete information, managing inconsistent data formats, manual reporting, and keeping pace with evolving regulatory requirements across markets.
Valpak’s Supplier Data Hub (SDH) is a shared, online system designed to support supplier engagement and product data collection across global regulatory requirements. It enables suppliers to collect, manage, and validate data across multiple regulated material streams, including packaging, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), batteries, and textiles, helping organisations comply with current obligations and prepare for upcoming legislation worldwide.
Automated data collection and validation – Pre-populated data across millions of SKUs, with real-time validation, improves accuracy at source across packaging, EEE, batteries, and textiles.
Centralised, secure reporting hub – One global platform where suppliers and producers can submit, manage, and access consistent, up-to-date product data.
Reduced administrative burden – Maintain data once and update only when required, reducing errors, rework, and manual reporting.
Improved data quality and supplier collaboration – Validation checks and efficient workflows strengthen relationships and support confident global compliance.
Valpak’s Supplier Data Hub is continually updated in line with evolving regulations and user feedback, giving suppliers and their customers access to the latest tools for faster, more efficient data collection. Recent enhancements include:
Product images – Secure upload of front and back images to improve transparency and packaging assessments.
