Lakes Bathrooms
Helping Lakes Bathrooms to reduce costs and comply with the Packaging Waste Regulations.
Lakes Bathrooms wanted to ensure that they were fully compliant with the Packaging Waste Regulations and at the same time reduce the burden on the business of completing their annual packaging data submission.

Solution
To reduce the administrative burden of completing the packaging data submission and to ensure compliance, we provided Lakes Bathrooms with a data management service, Data Insights, which allowed the business to outsource their submission process.
The Data Insights Team were responsible for specifying, collecting and calculating the 2011 submission and ensuring that Lakes Bathroom’s data was ‘as accurate as reasonably possible’
The tailored service provided was as follows:
- Full compliance review, including site tour, discussion of the company’s obligated business activities and an examination of any spreadsheets or reports previously used
Identification of the raw data required in order to complete the data submission
Extensive data collection and analysis
Weighing exercise at the company’s site to gather packaging weights
Comprehensive population of the data submission form
Verification of the data and submission to the Environment Agency in a timely and accurate fashion
Final report detailing the methodology for data collection and calculation
