Lower cost per shipment. PPWR compliance without surprises.
Cogton works on the two fronts that hit your bottom line directly: the hidden overspend in your packaging, and your readiness for PPWR. We audit, quantify, and fix.
Packaging cost reduction
Packaging is typically 8–12% of product cost, and much of it goes to air: oversized boxes, too much void fill, an unaudited catalogue of references. Each error multiplies across every SKU and every shipment. Structured optimisation typically cuts 10–30% off cost per shipment.
What this covers
- Right-sizing: matching box and void fill to what you actually ship, cutting material and dimensional weight.
- Catalogue audit & simplification: removing redundant references and invisible per-SKU overspend.
- Supplier selection & benchmarking: comparing quotes and ensuring material meets spec at the right cost.
- Engineering & structural design: redesigning packaging when the problem is structural, not just sizing.
PPWR compliance
PPWR is here, and the first binding obligations land in August 2026. The packaging minimisation rules and the 50% void-space limit apply later, in January 2030 — but getting ready starts now. We tell you exactly what applies to you, when, and what to do about it — no scaremongering, no fine print.
What this covers
- Compliance assessment: which obligations affect you based on your product, packaging, and markets.
- Roadmap by deadline: what to resolve for August 2026 and what to prepare for 2028–2030.
- Aligned with optimisation: cost and compliance improvements are designed together, not separately.
