Material Flow Reports
Independent insight into UK and global packaging material flows, backed by the world's largest product and packaging database
Understanding how materials move through the UK and global economy is essential for organisations looking to make informed decisions about recycling, circularity, packaging strategy, and compliance. Valpak’s Material Flow Reports provide authoritative, data-driven insights into national and international material flows, helping businesses, industry groups, and policymakers plan for the future with confidence.
Using industry-leading datasets and internationally recognised methodologies, our consultants and researchers analyse how packaging and other materials are produced, placed on the market, collected, sorted, reprocessed, and reused across the entire value chain. These reports highlight key trends, recovery rates, recycling infrastructure capacity, and future system pressures.
Our Material Flow Reports support:
-
National and global packaging flow analysis to understand market size, recyclability, and recovery patterns
-
Policy and compliance planning, including EPR, deposit return schemes, and recycling targets
-
Evidence-based decision making for brands, retailers, producers, and trade bodies
-
Identification of system-wide challenges, opportunities, and forecast changes affecting resource use
-
Circular economy strategies, supported by robust modelling and scenario analysis
Whether you’re evaluating recycling system performance, planning long-term packaging strategy, or preparing for future regulatory change, our reports give you a clear view of material movements at scale.
