If you haven\u2019t already started collecting your packaging data, now is the time to get the process underway.<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"137\" data-end=\"288\">It may seem like a complex task, but with a structured approach to collecting your company\u2019s packaging data, the process becomes far more manageable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"290\" data-end=\"341\">Here are <strong data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"339\">5 essential tips to get you started:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"498\"><strong data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"377\">1: Map out your responsibility<\/strong><br data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"380\" \/>Emballageretur has developed a mapping tool to help you get started.

This includes weight, material, quantities, and supplier information. Make sure to gather data from all relevant departments and suppliers to ensure a complete overview.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1831\"><strong data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1586\">5: Prepare your packaging data for your first reporting<\/strong><br data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1589\" \/>When your data is ready, it needs to be processed and structured to meet the EPR requirements. The more systematic you are from the start, the easier it will be to reuse the data for reporting, environmental graduation, and internal audits.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1831\"><strong data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1892\">The first reporting will take place in November 2025.<\/strong><br data-start=\"1892\" data-end=\"1895\" \/>As reporting is retrospective, your first reporting period (October 2025) will cover 1\u201315 November 2025 in Emballageretur.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2251\"><strong data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2024\">Internal audit<\/strong><br data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2027\" \/>Remember: As a company with producer responsibility, you are required to carry out internal audits.
