How wholesalers can stay compliant without the headache
There’s a new government regulation on the way...
If your business handles over 25 tonnes of packaging and turns over more than £1 million, you’ll need to register and report your packaging data by 1 April 2025 - or risk a financial penalty.
It sounds simple enough. But let’s be honest, managing compliance on top of everything else can feel like just another admin headache.
Compliance shouldn’t slow you down
For many wholesalers, the biggest challenge isn’t the rule itself. It’s the hassle of chasing down data, pulling together reports and keeping track of everything when your systems don’t talk to each other.
If your packaging data lives in spreadsheets (or worse, a stack of paperwork), preparing for these new requirements won't be easy. And while compliance schemes can help you meet the rules, they won’t fix the real issue knowing exactly what moves through your business and having that information at your fingertips.
Make compliance easy with the right system
A system that tracks packaging alongside your stock doesn’t just make compliance easier, it takes the stress out of the whole process. With the right setup, you can:
- Capture data automatically – No more last-minute reporting scrambles.
- See exactly what’s coming in and going out – No guesswork, just accurate figures.
- Keep records tidy and audit-ready – So if anyone asks, you’ve got it covered.
- Spend less time on admin – And more time running your business.
Get ahead of the curve
No one likes last-minute compliance scrambles. The best time to sort your packaging data isn’t when the deadline is staring you down - it’s now. And the right system won’t just help you tick the compliance box, it’ll make your entire operation more efficient.
That’s why so many wholesalers are upgrading their systems - not just to stay compliant, but to stay ahead.
