Scalable EPR compliance
with end-to-end cost modeling for sustainable packaging
Sigmoid helped a global food manufacturer tackle evolving EPR regulations by building a scalable BI solution to enable real-time reporting, simulate packaging costs and drive sustainability across packaging operations.
Business Scenario
A global CPG company with popular brands across snacking, cereals, and frozen foods faced growing complexity in aligning its packaging sustainability reporting with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations across U.S. states. They wanted to track multiple KPIs across Packaging R&D, procurement, supply chain, finance, and corporate sustainability. Manual data consolidation from fragmented systems caused delays, inconsistencies, and errors in packaging outflow analysis. Technical issues like incorrect material classifications, weight discrepancies, and outdated or missing recipe components undermined data reliability, resulting in EPR overpayments, audit risks, and increased pressure on internal teams.
Sigmoid Solution
Sigmoid delivered a two-phased solution to help the client align with evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations while improving overall packaging sustainability reporting.
Phase 1: Sigmoid began with a comprehensive audit of the client’s packaging data landscape, identifying systemic issues impacting compliance, including data gaps, misclassifications, and inconsistent entries. The team established custom logic to detect anomalies, map excluded SKUs, and improve visibility into packaging hierarchies across systems, laying the foundation for accurate, regulation-ready reporting.
