Intertek assists multinational companies in managing their
extended producer responsibility (EPR) reporting
requirements
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, announces the further expansion of its
sustainability services, through a partnership with Environmental
Packaging International (EPI), developer of redipoint®, a
global Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reporting
solution.
Intertek provides organizations with assurance solutions
designed to help address a wide variety of customer and market
sustainability compliance activities and requirements. Successful
companies recognise the benefit of building sustainability
principles into their business strategy and operations.
Sustainability involves such aspects as setting clear targets and
measuring progress towards them, maximising operational efficiency,
developing opportunities for further economic benefits, and
achieving buy-in and recognition from stakeholders. From the
perspective of product design and manufacturing, sustainability can
be embodied in tools such as life cycle assessments, which provide
a thorough analysis of a product’s environmental impact throughout
the entire supply chain.
The increasing demand for safer, more environmentally friendly
products has signalled an increase of more robust end-of-life (EOL)
strategies. “In a market where innovation is essential, the
development of cost-effective, sustainable product recovery
processes is of utmost importance, either before or after product
design,” states Mr. Gary Parker, Head of the Sustainability Group
within Intertek’s Health Environmental & Regulatory Services
team. “Intertek’s ongoing support to develop these comprehensive
sustainability strategies is enhanced through inclusion of
redipoint® in strategic alignment with EPI. Adding over two
decades of experience, we will help your business gain
environmental and economic advantages.”
“More and more businesses recognise the importance of
incorporating end-of-life management into their sustainability
strategies,” states Mr. Victor Bell, President of Environmental
Packaging International. “Hence EPI is looking forward to leverage
the power of redipoint® with the assurance services of
Intertek.”
redipoint® is a web-based solution that assists
multinational companies in managing compliance with EPR reporting
requirements worldwide by producing packaging and product fee
reports for international third-party organisations and government
agencies. In addition to facilitating compliance, redipoint®
allows users to track and report upon company-specific
environmental criteria/benchmarking to gain perspective on the
company’s packaging performance as a whole.
