Packaging Database, PPT and Waste Reporting
Like many great ideas, PackTotal was conceived over lunch. I sat across from my sister, the packaging manager at a manufacturing company. As she delved into the intricacies of reporting her packaging component data, her frustration was palpable. Each department had its own spreadsheet, and the data never quite aligned. The looming challenge of calculating the new Plastic Packaging Tax had her worried.
I couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you have software to handle this?” She looked at me, puzzled, and said no. Not only did her company lack a solution, but many others in her network faced the same issue. Spreadsheets seemed to be the unfortunate norm.
That conversation planted the seed that grew into PackTotal. My team and I had just completed a five-year project updating regulatory software for flavourings and fragrances, delving deep into the labyrinth of EU labelling regulations and poison centre notification. We were searching for our next project, and this opportunity seemed too good to pass up.
After thorough research and numerous brainstorming sessions, we realised that a software solution enabling companies to maintain their own data and handle the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) and DEFRA waste reporting calculations in-house was virtually nonexistent. Most available options involved consultants who would come in and take over, and many companies were nervous about their confidential customer sales data leaving the building. PackTotal emerged as our answer to this gap in the market.
