Data Collection
Build a stronger foundation with accurate, complete data
Reliable data is the backbone of effective packaging management, sustainability strategy, and regulatory compliance.
Our Data Collection Services help businesses capture, structure, and validate the information they need to meet complex environmental and reporting requirements.
By combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise, we gather accurate datasets across your entire supply chain, from packaging specifications and material compositions to product-level environmental impacts. Whether you’re preparing for compliance reporting or life cycle assessments, we make sure your data is complete, consistent, and ready for analysis.
How The Service Works:
Step 1 – Receive and structure your sales data
We start by receiving your sales or purchase data and preparing it for processing. Our team checks the completeness and structure of your files before importing them into our secure EPR data platform, Ecohub.
Step 2 – Collect and measure packaging data
We capture packaging specifications and material weights through a combination of onsite weighing, direct weighing at our Oxford facility, and data supplied by your teams or suppliers.
Step 3 – Step 3 – Validate and quality-check data
All data is thoroughly reviewed and cleansed. We cross-check material weights, compare results to historical records, and investigate any discrepancies to ensure full accuracy and consistency.
Step 4 – Fill data gaps through extrapolation
Where supplier data is missing, we extrapolate using verified sample weights from our proprietary database of over 3 million SKUs, ensuring 100% coverage and high confidence in your calculations.
Step 5 – Final QA and readiness for reporting
Once data is complete and validated, it passes through our final quality assurance stage — comparing material tonnages and department-level trends before submission. Your dataset is then ready for EPR calculation and reporting.
