Supporting Tesco with its packaging data

Challenge

Compliance with the Waste Regulations is a huge administrative task. Tesco has over 200,000 product lines. Analysing this data and gathering packaging weights in order to comply with the UK Packaging Waste Regulations is a huge administrative task and an important responsibility for Tesco so being fully compliant with these regulations are a must.

Solution

Reconomy’s data team began calculating Tesco’s UK data submissions. This included:

• Identifying the raw data required in order to produce the data submission
• Carrying out weighing exercises
• Extensive data collection and analysis
• Reporting the data submission to the  environment agency

Result

Tesco saved time and gained peace of mind and also realised a number of other benefits, including:

• The identification of raw data required in order to produce the data submission
• Cost savings in terms of staff time and resource
• Additional, bespoke reporting to help establish areas of investigation for Tesco to focus its own resources on worthwhile sustainability projects
• We now help Tesco with their International submissions too
