EPRaktiv

EPRaktiv is a software suite developed by SAP for managing extended producer responsibility (EPR) compliance. It is designed to help companies in various industries track and report on their obligations related to the end-of-life management of products, particularly in the context of environmental regulations. The software addresses the complexities of EPR schemes, which often involve multiple jurisdictions, product categories, and reporting requirements.

The EPRaktiv solution typically integrates with existing SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, allowing businesses to leverage their current data for EPR reporting. Key functionalities include data collection and aggregation from sales, production, and supply chain processes. It also supports the calculation of EPR fees and contributions based on product volumes and types. Furthermore, EPRaktiv aims to streamline the submission of compliance reports to regulatory bodies and collection schemes.

By automating and standardizing EPR management processes, EPRaktiv seeks to reduce the administrative burden on companies and minimize the risk of non-compliance. This helps businesses to better understand their environmental footprint and manage their product stewardship responsibilities more effectively. The software is particularly relevant for sectors such as electronics, packaging, and batteries, where EPR regulations are increasingly prevalent.
