Der Grüne Punkt and osapiens are making it possible: a database for packaging compliance that can be used directly for recyclability and EPR. No Excel, no endless emails to suppliers, and no uncertainty during audits.
Does this sound familiar to you?
- “We don not know exactly what data we need.” Requirements vary from country to country and from product to product – we lack an overview.
- “Our suppliers do not provide the right data.” Important packaging data is held by suppliers and often arrives late or is incomplete.
- “We are still doing this in Excel – it does not scale.” Manual processes across multiple markets are error-prone and difficult to control.
- “In the event of an audit, we can not immediately prove that we are compliant.” Without centralized documentation, we lack the ability to provide quick, reliable proof to regulatory authorities.
- “Every new market means starting from scratch again.” New countries bring new registries, new formats, and new processes.
Together, we combine the necessary regulatory expertise and market reach with an AI-powered platform infrastructure to solve this challenge at scale.
One database. Three pillars.
Der Grüne Punkt and osapiens view packaging compliance not as a standalone reporting issue, but as an end-to-end data management process – from meeting regulatory requirements to supporting circular economy processes.
The Foundation – PPWR Compliance
The osapiens HUB for Product Compliance Management creates a central database for your packaging. Materials, weights, components, and compliance requirements are entered once and are available to you for all future use cases. On this basis, you can already meet the comprehensive requirements of the PPWR (Art. 5) today.
This single database serves as the starting point for more. Der Grüne Punkt and osapiens are jointly developing two add-ons: automated calculation of recyclability according to CEN guidelines and automated EPR reporting. Scalable across relevant markets in the EU and beyond.
