Before partnering with Valpak, Midwich UK&I faced challenges in managing the volume of data required for packaging compliance. With a number of subsidiaries, one of which was already under Valpak’s compliance management, the business needed a reliable solution to ensure data accuracy and quality across the board.

Midwich UK&I’s goals included:

  • Ensuring accurate and compliant data submissions
  • Improving data quality for greater cost efficiencies
  • Streamlining supplier engagement for compliance-related data

Midwich UK&I commissioned Valpak to provide comprehensive data management services, delivering tailored solutions to address their needs:

  • Supplier mailings: To gather accurate packaging weights, we initiated supplier mailings, alleviating the burden on Midwich UK&I’s internal team. Our extensive weights database ensures thorough and reliable data collection.
  • End-of-year data reviews: By conducting annual reviews, Valpak identifies and corrects inaccuracies in data submissions, ensuring compliance and cost savings.
  • UK Plastic Packaging Tax support: We provide the necessary evidence and guidance to help Midwich UK&I comply with UK Plastic Packaging Tax requirements.
  • Expert guidance: With none of Midwich UK&I’s employees specialising in packaging compliance, we offer expert advice and regulatory guidance, simplifying complex compliance processes.
