You don't sell to Dutch consumers yourself. Yet lately, more and more customers are asking you the same question: send us the material composition, the weight, the recyclability, and the origin of your packaging. If that sounds familiar, you're not the only one, and it's no coincidence.
Where this comes from
The brands and retailers who resell your packaging need to prove their own compliance with Verpact, CSRD, tariff differentiation (TD 2.0), and the PPWR. To do that, they need the underlying packaging data. And that data sits with you, the supplier. The result: the question lands on your desk, from every customer separately, often in a slightly different format each time.
What most suppliers run into first
In the conversations we have, we keep hearing the same three things. One: the packaging data exists, but it's spread across specifications, product data sheets, and exports, not in a form you can simply forward. Two: every customer wants it slightly differently, one an Excel file, another a PDF, a third their own form. Three: sometimes the answer doesn't even sit with you, but with your own upstream supplier, and you have to go fetch it there.
What we do for suppliers
That's exactly why we built an offering specifically for suppliers. In short: we map out what already exists and what's missing, convert your packaging data into whatever format each customer needs, retrieve packaging data from your own suppliers when needed, advise on packaging optimization, and stand next to you for questions or audits. You shouldn't have to figure it out again for every customer.
Does this sound like your own situation? Check out our page for suppliers for the full offering, or get in touch: we're happy to think along with you, free of charge.
