The Proposed Starting Point
Medoola does not propose a full PEP™ retainer as an opening commitment.
The right entry point is a bounded, high-value diagnostic that demonstrates the approach and produces immediate actionable insight.
There is no obligation to proceed beyond it.
We call it…
The Packaging Margin Protection Sprint
Medoola proposes a focused conversation with potential clients to understand current packaging priorities, regulatory pressure points, and internal capabilities.
From that conversation, a scoped Packaging Margin Protection Sprint can be developed.
-
Discovery call — 60 minutes — to map your priority markets, brands, and compliance pressure points
-
Sprint scoping — Medoola proposes a defined scope, timeline, and commercial structure
-
Sprint delivery — four to six weeks — producing the full diagnostic and PEP roadmap
-
Review and decision — you evaluate the Sprint output
Why Act Now
PPWR applies from August 2026. Eco-modulated UK EPR fees are live. The fee differential between optimised and unoptimised packaging portfolios widens each year. The organisations that establish clean packaging data and compliant material specifications now will face lower costs and fewer disruptions as the regulatory environment continues to tighten.
Waiting is not a neutral position.
Every quarter without an integrated packaging framework is a quarter of compounding fee exposure, unrealised procurement savings, and deferred sustainability progress.
Figure out where you are first…
Packaging EPR is the biggest driver of packaging efficiency right now.
Medoola has developed a quick assessment that will reveal where your organisation may be at risk under new and emerging Packaging EPR compliance regimes.

From there, the Sprint will answer one question with precision:
What is the cost of your current packaging trajectory, and what is the realistic value of changing it?
That question deserves a rigorous answer — not an estimate.
A four-to-six week structured diagnostic…
-
A packaging data audit...
… across the defined scope, establishing baseline EPR fee exposure by material and market.
-
A PPWR and UK RAM readiness assessment...
… identifying Red-rated materials and the fee uplift they carry under modulation
-
An initial material optimisation shortlist...
… alternative specifications with indicative LCA and procurement cost implications.
-
A PEP™ roadmap...
… a prioritised programme of actions with projected cost reduction and compliance improvement outcomes.
