Packaging data that keeps you ahead of legislation.
Collect packaging data from your supply chain, map it to PPWR and national EPR requirements, and generate scheme-specific declarations for the UK, France, Germany, Italy and EU PPWR.
Everything you need for packaging compliance
From supplier intake to regulatory submission, Merchant covers the full packaging data lifecycle.
Supplier intake
Guided supplier portals, bulk uploads, and API access to capture detailed packaging information across all components.
Scheme-specific exports
Generate declarations in the exact format each EPR scheme requires - XML for LUCID, CSV for CITEO, CSV for RPD - from a single data set.
EPR fee management
Estimate UK pEPR fees and the compliance cost of each component - PRNs, disposal fees and Plastic Packaging Tax - before materials reach production.
Recyclability assessment
Record an A-E recyclability grade per component, with its basis and dates, and apply red, amber or green ratings in UK reports.
Certificate tracking
Manage FSC/PEFC certificates, compliance documents and expiry dates. Get an email before documents expire.
Sustainability tracking
Track recycled content, weight reduction and material composition trends across your entire supply chain.
Built for the regulations that matter
Designed around the compliance obligations driving the packaging industry worldwide.
UK pEPR
Biannual reporting via RPD, RAG recyclability ratings, and modulated fees from 2026.
EU PPWR
Declaration of Conformity and PP01-PP12 material identification from Aug 2026. Harmonised sorting labels from Aug 2028. Recyclability grades and DPP from 2030.
Plastic Tax
Track recycled content against the 30% threshold to manage plastic packaging tax liabilities.
Global EPR
Germany (LUCID), France (CITEO) and Italy (CONAI) declarations. For other schemes, the component data each declaration is built from is exported as CSV or Excel.
How fast can we onboard suppliers?
Most retailers see 70% of suppliers live within four weeks using our guided intake flows and automated reminders.
Where is data hosted?
Merchant runs on Microsoft Azure in the UK West region.
Can Merchant integrate with our ERP?
Yes. We offer a REST API, API clients and signed webhooks to connect packaging data to SAP, Oracle, or custom ERP pipelines.
What data do suppliers provide?
Material type, weight, recyclability, recycled content, and component-level specifications. Our guided forms make it straightforward.
How does multi-jurisdiction reporting work?
Enter your packaging data once at SKU and component level. The system maps materials to each scheme's categories and generates exports in the exact format required - XML for Germany (LUCID), CSV for France (CITEO), CSV for UK (RPD), and the CONAI declaration for Italy. For other schemes, the component data is exported as CSV or Excel.
