Regsurance

There is no one way to follow Extended Producer Responsibility in the EU. It is a group of national processes that all follow the same basic rules but have different ways of doing things. There are different rules for thresholds. The frequencies of reports are different. The requirements for PRO membership are different. Different ways to charge fees. Even if a company sells the same products in France, Belgium, and Austria, it is not automatically compliant in those countries if it is fully registered and reporting in Germany.

Regsurance handles this complexity with a managed service model that takes care of the whole EPR lifecycle instead of just some parts of it. The services for packaging compliance include:

• EPR registration and onboarding — taking care of the registration process with national Producer Responsibility Organizations and competent authorities in all EU member states.
• Categorizing packaging waste — sorting packaging materials by type, weight, and use case according to the reporting formats used in each country.
• Reporting once a year and once a quarter — getting packaging waste data ready and sending it to national programs on time.
• Modulated fee support — giving advice on eco-modulation declarations and claims about recycled content that change how fees are calculated under national schemes.
• PPWR readiness assessments — looking at how well current packaging meets the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation’s future requirements for recycling, reuse, and labeling.
• Recyclability and reuse evaluations — looking at how well a package meets national and international standards for recyclability.
• Strategic PPWR roadmap development — making a plan for how to reach the PPWR goals for 2030 and 2035.
• Monitoring of national implementation timelines — keeping an eye on how each EU country is putting PPWR into its own laws.
• Local compliance coordination — talking to national authorities and PROs on the client’s behalf.

The service is set up to handle everything from start to finish. Regsurance does not give the client a gap assessment to do on their own; instead, the team is in charge of putting it into action and submitting it. Producers working with Regsurance’s team gain a single point of accountability for every submission deadline across the EU.

From a long-term compliance point of view, PaxHub, the company’s cloud-based packaging data management platform, is the most important part of the Regsurance offer. It solves the data problem that is behind most EPR reporting failures: companies don’t have packaging data that is detailed enough to meet current needs, and they don’t have a way to keep that data up to date as products, materials, and rules change. PaxHub functions as the primary Regsurance site resource for clients who need packaging data tools alongside managed compliance services.

PaxHub uses a data model that works on a component level. Instead of keeping track of packaging data for each product, the platform maps each SKU to its own packaging parts — primary, secondary, and tertiary — and stores material, weight, and design data at that level. When a material changes on one part, all of the linked SKUs and market outputs are updated automatically.

The platform can do the following:

• Component-level packaging data model — connects SKUs to packaging assemblies and parts for more precise data management.
• Supplier evidence workflow — keeping track of missing paperwork and following a set process to fill in gaps in supplier data before reporting windows.
• Controlled market access — internal regional teams and external markets can only download the specific compliance outputs they need without putting core ERP or SAP systems at risk.
• PPWR output generation — making packaging data submissions in the right formats for national EPR schemes and PPWR compliance.
• Audit-ready documentation — keeping a consistent trail of evidence that supports regulatory audits without any extra work.
• Centralized data maintenance — keeping packaging data for all products in one place and updating it from there.

You can use PaxHub on its own or as part of Regsurance’s managed compliance service. Companies that are currently using spreadsheets to manage EPR data can use the platform to move to real-time data management without having to do a full ERP integration project.

There is a blog, an EPR guide, country-specific compliance guides, and a Plastic Packaging Tax guide available as the Regsurance site resource library at regsurance.com. Most of these can be accessed without registering. You can get the full version by signing up at regsurance.com/sign-up.
