Why take part

A collective tool to carry weight with regulators

The PackagingHub barometer is not a market study. It is an industry advocacy tool: the more respondents it gathers, the more it becomes a reference document that carries weight with national authorities and the European Commission.

See where you stand

Benchmark your readiness against your peers, anonymously, by sector. No company is ever identified.

A sector report you can use

Download the summary to present it to your board, your trade association or your producer responsibility organisation. Verifiable data, published methodology.

Advocacy leverage

Several PPWR delegated acts are still under discussion (recyclability, mass balance, shrink-wrapping). Aggregated field data is solid evidence in public consultations to push back on requirements that are technically unworkable.
