The increasing complexity of the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) presents significant challenges for businesses. To meet these requirements, GreenDot and Osapiens have formed a strategic partnership. The aim is to develop an AI-powered software solution for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance, which is intended to simplify reporting obligations across all EU markets.
The new solution combines GreenDot’s expertise in EPR compliance and packaging licensing with the Osapiens Hub platform, which is geared towards sustainable growth. This partnership offers the first integrated digital solution that makes EPR and PPWR reporting seamless, scalable, and cost-effective. The software enables the automatic collection, verification, and maintenance of packaging data by leveraging AI-powered workflows and supplier collaboration tools.
With the growing number of country-specific reporting obligations, the effort for companies increases. The solution from GreenDot and Osapiens addresses this challenge by connecting directly to national registration systems and EPR schemes via pre-built interfaces. This replaces slow manual processes and automatically calculates obligations in every European country.
Cost structure optimisation
Another advantage of the solution is the identification of the optimal tariff structure across European markets. This allows companies to optimise their costs for EPR compliance. Laurent Auguste, CEO of GreenDot, emphasises the importance of this innovation: „Companies are increasingly concerned about the complexity and cost of managing EPR compliance under the PPWR. Together with Osapiens, we are bringing the intelligent digital solution to market that the industry has been calling for.“
Forward-looking partnership
Stefan Wawrzinek, co-founder and chairman of Osapiens, adds: „EPR compliance under the PPWR will become one of the most complex cross-border challenges for manufacturers and brand owners across Europe. With GreenDot, we are combining the necessary regulatory depth and market reach with an AI-powered platform infrastructure to solve this problem efficiently.“
This partnership reflects the joint commitment of both companies to develop transformative digital solutions that support businesses in their transition to a circular economy in Europe. Given the increasing regulatory requirements and the need to make material flows more transparent, the GreenDot and Osapiens solution is expected to offer a promising perspective for the future of the packaging industry.
