Packaging Services

We help companies make their packaging more sustainable – from strategy and policy to implementation, reporting, and communication. Together, we ensure your packaging complies with (upcoming) legislation, aligns with your business goals, and moves step by step toward circular solutions with lower CO₂ emissions and reduced costs.

To achieve this, we offer a range of services.

Packaging Policy and Strategy

We develop a clear and feasible packaging policy for your organization. Depending on the available data, we analyze your current packaging portfolio, establish the baseline, and identify the key opportunities. We then set SMART goals and create a concrete action plan. To activate internal and external stakeholders, we translate the policy into a strong visual narrative.

PPWR Scan of Your Portfolio

A PPWR scan quickly provides insight into how future-proof your packaging is. Together, we map out the packaging portfolio, assess compliance with the PPWR, and identify both risks and opportunities. We conclude with an interactive session to discuss the findings and set priorities for next steps.

Packaging Files and PPWR Declarations of Conformity

With the introduction of the PPWR, additional requirements are being placed on packaging documentation, meaning companies must revisit their files. We help you compile documentation, assess conformity, and use these files as a strategic tool to further enhance the sustainability of your packaging.

Fee Differentiation 2.0

Fee Differentiation 2.0 provides financial incentives to make packaging more sustainable. We help you take full advantage of these opportunities. First, we jointly review which packaging data is available and determine the scope of the analysis. Then, based on desk research, samples, and specifications, we evaluate the characteristics of your packaging and test them against the Fee Differentiation 2.0 requirements. We document the results so they can be easily reused for future ABB declarations, giving you immediate insight into savings opportunities and sustainability options within your portfolio.

Stakeholder Dialogue and Activation

Packaging and circularity often involve many interests and perspectives. Schuttelaar & Partners designs and guides effective stakeholder communication — from strategy and core messaging to dialogue sessions, campaigns, and network building. Thanks to our subject-matter expertise and experienced communication teams, we make complex topics understandable and create forms of interaction in which stakeholders can truly contribute, co-decide, and participate. For example, we have served as a communication partner for the Plastic Pact.

Training and Workshops

Would you like to increase attention to packaging within your organization? We develop customized training sessions and workshops tailored to the knowledge needs and day-to-day practice of your teams. This can range from an introduction to packaging legislation and the PPWR to an in-depth session on design for recycling, or a creative workshop to develop new, more sustainable packaging concepts with colleagues from procurement, marketing, sustainability, and R&D.

Tailored Packaging Advice

Do you lack in-house packaging expertise, hesitate between different solutions, or need an independent second opinion? We offer tailored packaging advice. Based on data, legislation, technological possibilities, and market developments, we help you make a well-founded choice that fits your organization’s ambitions. This may involve a single packaging issue or long-term guidance through complex transitions within your packaging portfolio.
