Packaging & Ecodesign

We turn your packaging’s obligations, costs and impact into concrete improvement decisions.

A better pack isn’t simply one made from a different material. It’s one that does its job, reduces impact and cost, meets regulation, and can be integrated viably into the company’s operations.

We analyse the packaging your company places on the market so you know which obligations you need to meet, what information you need to manage, how much each format costs you, and what opportunities you have to reduce materials, costs and impact.

The project can start from scratch — inventorying and classifying all your packaging — or from a specific need: preparing a declaration, reviewing labelling, calculating SCRAP contributions, anticipating penalties, comparing materials, or redesigning a pack. When there’s an opportunity for improvement, we study the whole system: the product it needs to protect, the materials, machinery, preservation, logistics, suppliers, use and end-of-life. We compare alternatives and, when needed, validate them through testing under real conditions.

The result can be a packaging management system, a calculation tool, a compliance strategy, an ecodesign proposal, or an implementation pilot. The goal is for the company to know what it needs to do, what it can improve, and what effect each decision will have on its operations, costs and environmental impact.

Servicios

We identify primary, secondary and tertiary packaging and classify it by material, format, use and destination, to build a complete, updatable information base.

We analyse the applicable obligations, prepare the information for packaging declarations, and support the relationship with extended producer responsibility schemes — EPR/PRO systems —, labelling and administrative organisation.

We calculate the costs associated with each format and assess how its characteristics can generate bonuses or penalties. We simulate alternatives to bring the economic effect into design decisions.

We assess changes in materials, weight, composition, recyclability, recycled content, reuse and end-of-life, taking into account product protection, machinery, preservation and logistics.

We identify materials and suppliers, define tests, and validate alternatives under real conditions before preparing their rollout and scaling.

The architecture for turning packaging into a strategic decision

Packaging can’t be improved by looking at the material alone. Its function, the company’s operations, costs, regulation and environmental impact are all connected. At Spora we assess packaging from a complete perspective, to identify improvements that reduce impact and cost without compromising the performance the product needs.

  1. Understand the packaging system

    Products, formats, materials, processes, machinery, logistics and preservation needs.

  2. Inventory data, obligations and costs

    Packaging classification, applicable requirements, declarations and associated costs.

  3. Detect opportunities for improvement

    Material reduction, recyclability, reuse, traceability and penalty prevention.

  4. Compare alternatives

    Environmental, technical, regulatory, operational and economic assessment of materials and designs.

  5. Identify and validate solutions

    Supplier sourcing, market solutions and testing under real conditions. 

  6. Implement, measure and update

    Operational changes, responsibilities, results monitoring and updating obligations.

More control and compliance.
Less risk and better cost.
Better design and traceability.
More product value and positioning

INSIGHT

The PPWR isn’t just about packaging. It’s about data and impact.

The new EU packaging regulation demands more information and control. Want to know more?

RESOURCES

The PPWR doesn’t affect everyone equally. Do you know what it means for your business?

Four practical guides, one for each type of company: what the regulation requires of you and where to start.
