FAQ
Common questions.
Can GreenLoop tell us whether we are in scope?
We can review your business model, packaging activities, markets and organisational structure to help map likely obligations and identify where formal legal advice may also be appropriate.
Can you help with packaging data?
Yes. We can review the structure, ownership, definitions, quality controls and evidence supporting packaging datasets used for reporting and compliance decisions.
Do you only work on EPR and PPWR?
Our core focus is packaging compliance, with EPR and PPWR at the centre. Related work can include packaging strategy, recyclability, recycled content, data governance and implementation planning.
Can you work with our existing compliance scheme or legal advisers?
Yes. GreenLoop can complement existing advisers by focusing on operational interpretation, data, internal ownership and implementation.
