Why now?
EPR regulations are tightening, not disappearing. The manual workarounds that work today become increasingly costly and risky as requirements grow more complex.
PackTotal is built for UK regulations and installed on your own server — your data never leaves your network.
PackTotal typically pays for itself through time savings and reduced consultancy costs alone.
PackTotal is designed with simplicity in mind, making it accessible for anyone to use. The easy-to-use dashboard gives you a centralised view of your packaging data, ensuring everyone in your organisation can easily access all the tools necessary to manage your reporting.
Advanced Reporting
With all your data recorded within PackTotal and available to consolidate or compare, you can review and report on all aspects of your packaging activity.
PackTotal provides the required reporting information to align with the information required by HMRC, but the system and reports can also be tailored to meet your unique requirements.
In addition to HMRC/DEFRA submission data, PackTotal produces accurate, real-time tax calculations and reports on demand.
PackTotal understands that each business has unique needs. That's why we offer bespoke reporting solutions to fit with your specific requirements.
For instance, we have created templates to match the specific spreadsheets required by large retailers, which automatically populate with the detailed sustainability data relating to the products they have purchased.
Packaging Compliance and Regulatory Intelligence
Navigating the packaging regulations can feel overwhelming. PackTotal's regulatory compliance software is designed to simplify the packaging waste reporting processes and tax calculations to make navigating the regulatory requirements easier.
To calculate EPR, PackTotal categorises and consolidates import and sales figures, cross referenced with your packaging data to produce total weights of all the materials used in each packaging activity and for each packaging class. From January 2025, the system will support RAM requirements, helping you track component relationships and maintain assessment documentation.
To calculate PPT, our intelligent data system identifies which packaging components are exempt and automatically calculates tax liabilities, credits, and exemptions based on manufactured, imported, and exported quantities.
PackTotal will help you meet UK waste regulations, stay current with plastic packaging tax compliance and extended producer responsibility requirements, and produce accurate data and reports.
Data Security
Our packaging data management software solution keeps your proprietary information secure by storing it in-house on your company's servers. With PackTotal, you'll have complete control over who has access to your valuable data, giving you the freedom to share information only with trusted partners.
Customer Support & Training
PackTotal offers continuous support and guidance ensuring smooth implementation of the software and ongoing success.
Extended Producer Responsibility
UK EPR regulations can be complex, but compliance doesn't have to be. PackTotal can help with all aspects of EPR compliance, including capturing the increased amount of data producers must now record and report for all packaging they supply, use and discard.
For EPR reporting, your business's role in the supply chain is crucial, and PackTotal will help you navigate all your data reporting requirements including the new Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) requirements starting January 2025. Our system helps you track which packaging components must be assessed together, maintain required documentation, and produce accurate submissions.
PackTotal will prompt you to enter the correct information, ensuring your data remains compliant as the regulations change.
Plastic Packaging Tax Calculator
PackTotal includes a built-in calculator to determine plastic tax liabilities accurately. PackTotal will calculate the total weight of liable plastic components manufactured or imported, the weight of all exempt components and the weight of components exported or classified as due for export. With an ongoing view throughout the quarter, you can monitor your PPT costs and be ready to submit values required by HMRC when the quarter ends.
B2B Packaging Reporting
One of the challenges you may face is handling requests for data from third parties, including major retailers and compliance schemes. That's where PackTotal comes in.
PackTotal can report on all aspects of your data, to external third parties or for internal information and improvements.
For example, it can produce Excel reports of the components shipped to each customer in formats demanded by different retailers.
