Bodycare

Bodycare has fully outsourced the administrative burden of both collating and submitting their packaging waste data to Valpak.

Valpak has used a variety of techniques to assist with Bodycare’s packaging data submission and to make it as accurate as possible, such as:

• acquiring weights directly from suppliers for a range of products
• carrying out weighing days for more product information, particularly for the products that contribute the highest obligation
• identifying an efficient, personalised methodology that highlights solutions to functional issues such as the reuse of product codes
• using multiple, thorough quality checks to ensure accuracy
• liaising directly with the Environment Agency to make the submission on time

Bodycare has observed multiple advantages to allowing Valpak to assist them with their packaging waste submission:

• A complete, detailed audit trail gives visibility to how their obligation is calculated
• Confidentiality and safety of sensitive data
• Custom built software
• Significant savings of time, cost and resource
• Availability of technical advice and a dedicated account manager

Overall, Valpak has efficiently taken Bodycare’s submission from raw sales data to an accurate obligation to provide to the Environment Agency.
