Packaging Optimisation
The packaging used affects more than what's on the shelf, it drives material costs, shipping costs, recyclability scores and, increasingly, what's owed under EPR. Ecoveritas' packaging optimisation service looks at all of that together, not just one piece of it, so changes made actually move the needle.
Current packaging is assessed against how it performs in practice, through the supply chain, on shelf, and at end of life, identifying where it's overengineered, under protective, or simply costing more than it needs to. Material cost, shipping cost and compliance fees are considered together, since a change that helps one and hurts another isn't really an improvement.
What optimisation can do for you
Lower costs
Better recyclability
Stronger customer experience
Lighter, better designed packaging doesn't just cost less to ship, it can reduce what's owed under EPR fee structures too, since many schemes charge by weight and material type.
Common questions about packaging optimisation
No, optimisation is about finding the right level of packaging, not simply less packaging, protection stays part of the assessment throughout.
Recyclability is assessed alongside cost and protection, so changes made tend to improve RAM outcomes as a natural side effect, not a separate exercise.
It can be either, a single review to reset a pack design, or an ongoing check as materials, formats and regulation change.
