EPR Packaging Data Model: Fields Every Producer Should Control
A practical data model for packaging components, materials, products, brands, markets, suppliers, evidence and reporting periods.
Guide contents
Model the component
Separate bottle, cap, label, carton, film or other packaging components when reporting rules or material attributes may differ.
Connect components to products and brands
Producer-responsibility workflows often depend on what is placed on a market, so packaging data should remain tied to sellable products and brand context.
Capture source and methodology
Weights and material classifications should preserve the specification, supplier record or calculation used to derive them.
Map jurisdiction categories separately
Keep program-specific category mapping outside the core packaging record so one source dataset can serve many EPR workflows.
