One platform. Three teams. Same packaging data.
Sustainability, Packaging, and Compliance don't have three different data problems — they have the same data problem from three angles. PackR8 gives each team the view it needs, without duplicating the work.
Reporting stops being the bottleneck.
You already know what circular packaging looks like. What you don't have is a reliable source of packaging data to base your CSRD, PPWR, and board reporting on. Right now that data lives in 11 tabs of a spreadsheet maintained by someone in another country — and every ESG cycle starts with rebuilding it from scratch.
- Packaging weights are last year's numbers, nobody trusts them, and they don't tie out against the ERP.
- Recyclability claims are written in marketing decks, not backed by EN 13430 evidence that an auditor would accept.
- PPWR deadlines (DoC obligations, recycled content targets, package minimization) are 18 months out and nobody owns the readiness checklist.
- CSRD disclosures require SKU-level packaging data that currently takes 6 weeks to assemble manually every year.
"Before, our PPWR strategy was a slide deck. Now it's a live dashboard I can show the board, and every number on it traces back to a supplier spec sheet I can point at."
— Sustainability Lead, EU food & beverage producerYour specs become the single source of truth.
You've been running the packaging programme on a heroic act of memory and email archaeology. Every time marketing asks "what's in this pack?" or procurement asks "who approved that change?", it takes half a day to reconstruct the answer. Meanwhile sustainability is sending you spreadsheets and compliance is asking for evidence you're not sure still exists.
- Specs live in dozens of supplier PDFs, many expired or superseded without clear versioning.
- Every change to a pack (new supplier, weight reduction, material swap) triggers 6 people updating 6 different files.
- Artwork and structural design teams keep their own version of the truth — which diverges from what's actually being manufactured.
- When legal or compliance asks for evidence, you're digging through inboxes for attachments that may be 2 years old.
"The packaging programme ran on my memory and my Outlook. Now a new hire can open PackR8 and see the full history of every SKU without interrupting me. That alone justified it."
— Head of Packaging, EU personal-care manufacturerEPR filings and DoCs run themselves.
You don't care that packaging data is "interesting" — you care that your Afvalfonds filing is right, your Zentrale Stelle (LUCID) registration is current, and your Declarations of Conformity are defensible. Currently all three take weeks of manual reconciliation because the upstream data isn't structured for regulatory submission.
- Every EPR scheme (NL, DE, BE, FR, ES, PL) wants the same data in a different format on different deadlines.
- Declarations of Conformity under PPWR Annex VIII require evidence traceability you can't reliably assemble today.
- When a scheme audits you, the data is split across packaging, procurement, and finance — reconciliation takes weeks.
- EPR fees are calculated manually and nobody has time to verify them line-by-line, so overpayments slip through.
"The DoCs used to be the thing that kept me up at night. With Annex VIII-aligned generation and the evidence auto-attached, I've stopped rehearsing for audits — the data just is the evidence."
— Compliance Manager, EU consumer-goods producerThe same record. Three different shifts.
PackR8 isn't three products in a trench coat. It's one packaging record — with role-aware views so each team works in the context it needs without stepping on the others. Packaging edits the spec. Compliance files against it. Sustainability reports on it. All from the same underlying truth.
