In today's rapidly evolving marketplace with heightened consumer sustainability awareness and increased EPR regulations, shifting to more sustainable packaging is critical. Companies are facing unprecedented pressure to adopt environmentally conscious packaging strategies. While this can be a challenging task, data management systems facilitate the process by offering tools that not only ensure compliance with regulations, but also enhance brand reputation and strategy.

When everyone has access to specifications, amazing things happen – faster product development, improved quality, and less waste.
