SAP® Responsible Design and Production
INDUSTRY CLOUD | CONSUMER PRODUCTS | SOLUTION SUMMARY
The SAP® Responsible Design and Production
solution helps producers manage their extended
producer responsibility (EPR) obligations and
plastic packaging taxes, embed circularity principles
into core business processes, and transition to
more-sustainable products and packaging.
How can SAP Responsible Design and
Production help you change the game?
Today, in response to the global waste crisis,
companies are required to monitor the dynamic
regulation landscape and market requirements
of waste, measure the flows and impacts of their
material usage, and act on transitioning to a
more sustainable business.
Now, SAP customers can help ensure compliance
with EPR and plastic packaging tax reporting
and gain actionable insights to help eliminate
packaging waste.
What are the key features of SAP Responsible
Design and Production?
Bring together data on material properties and
logistics of packaging in a single silo
Enable business users to maintain data on
product and packaging composition
Monitor global reporting requirements for EPR
schemes, plastic packaging taxes, and voluntary
commitments
Analyze the impact of regulations on packaging
material scenarios
Run and manage voluntary and regulatory
declarations with the embedded SAP Document
and Reporting Compliance solution
What are the benefits?
SAP Responsible Design and Production helps
companies reduce risks due to regulatory exposure
and profitably deliver on their zero-waste
commitments. Other benefits include:
Increased revenue by addressing the growing
consumer expectations for more-sustainable
products
Reduced risks in compliance and brand image by
increasing the precision of calculating and paying
regulatory obligations
Reduced regulatory costs of packaging such as
EPR fees and plastics packaging taxes, achieved
by optimizing the materials used
Why SAP?
Based on SAP’s long-standing industry experience,
SAP Responsible Design and Production supports
companies in their transition to circular business
models and elimination of plastic packaging
waste. Along with the industry cloud portfolio,
