Per-SKU class scores, market-by-market regulatory mapping and a design-improvement roadmap. The flagship consulting engagement for global brand owners.
The flagship CIRCPACK consulting engagement: a full-portfolio review across recyclability, EPR exposure and design-for-recycling, delivered in 6-12 weeks. Used by 35+ Fortune 500 brand owners to reset packaging strategy on defensible evidence.
The output is three things in one bundle: a per-SKU class score (RecyClass / CERTIFY / RECY:CHECK depending on material), a market-by-market regulatory map covering PPWR, national EPR schemes and adjacent regimes, and a design-improvement roadmap tying every recommendation to a measurable class or fee outcome.
A typical global engagement runs 6-12 weeks across four phases.
Portfolio inventory, market list, packaging specs, current claims and certifications. Joint workshop with sustainability, regulatory and packaging leads.
Per-SKU class scores under the relevant accredited scheme. Operational sorting tests, lab tests and desk studies as needed; CIRCPACK auditors run all operational work inside MRFs.
Each SKU × each market against PPWR, national EPR registration and fee status, eco-modulation eligibility and Green Claims defensibility. Driven by the Recycling Intelligence Platform.
Concrete design levers (resin choice, label compatibility, sleeve removal, material substitution) tied to measurable class or fee outcomes per SKU.
Portfolio reviews are commissioned by global brand owners across three patterns.
Resetting packaging strategy ahead of PPWR enforcement; need defensible per-SKU evidence to underwrite multi-year programmes.
Beverages, household care, personal care — categories under direct PPWR pressure and high EPR exposure.
Consolidating packaging strategy across an acquired portfolio; the review establishes the baseline for the combined entity.

The gap analysis stops at the roadmap. The portfolio review goes further: it includes the recyclability assessment work itself — per-SKU class scores via an accredited scheme — alongside the roadmap. Most clients commission the portfolio review when they want the certificate-grade evidence delivered as part of the engagement, not as a follow-on.
6-12 weeks end to end. Smaller portfolios (single category, single region) complete inside 6 weeks. Global multi-category portfolios take 10-12 weeks. Where operational sorting tests are required, the schedule reflects MRF-line availability.
No — the roadmap is the handover. Design implementation runs with your in-house packaging team or your packaging suppliers. CIRCPACK stays on as the recyclability validation partner: as redesigned packs come through, we re-certify them under the relevant scheme.
