How it sells itself

State laws require brands to report the weight of plastic, glass, and cardboard shipped. Doing this manually takes weeks and risks audit fines. This app completely automates your material footprint math. Assign default packaging weights to your orders, and our system scans your shipping history to calculate total material usage instantly.

Map each product variant to one or more packaging layers (material + weight), including your own custom material types. Aggregate paid orders by country and period, then export LUCID (Germany), SYDEREP (France), ECOEMBES (Spain) and UK EPR CSV files in the exact registry format. Full audit trail (HTML, PDF, raw CSV/JSON) included with every report.

Key points
  • Automated Footprint Math: Multiplies packaging weights by total order volume.
  • Audit-Ready Exports: Compliant CSVs formatted for state regulators and PROs.
  • Historical Data Scanning: Analyzes past orders to calculate annual usage.
  • Map variants to packaging layers, materials, and custom types
  • Export LUCID XML, SYDEREP, ECOEMBES and UK EPR CSV
  • CSV import validate-and-apply plus bulk variant mapping
  • Audit trail: HTML, PDF, and raw CSV or JSON per report
