Two problems already on your plate

Oversized boxes and too much void fill mean you pay for air on every shipment — in material and in freight. Meanwhile PPWR is here, with its first obligations landing in August 2026, and no one in-house who knows the regulation cold. If you run a warehouse or a 3PL operation, this sounds familiar.

PPWR won't wait

The first binding PPWR obligations take effect in August 2026, and most operators still aren’t ready. The packaging minimisation rules and the 50% void-space limit come later, in January 2030 — but getting ready starts now, not at the deadline. We help you know exactly what applies to you, and when.

How we work

  1. 1

    Diagnostic audit

    We analyse your packaging, your shipments, and your PPWR exposure. No ongoing commitment.

  2. 2

    Findings & savings estimate

    We give you what to change, how much you can save, and where your compliance risk sits.

  3. 3

    Ongoing optimisation

    A monthly retainer to implement the improvements and keep you current with the regulation.

What to expect

Packaging optimisation typically cuts 10–30% off cost per shipment by reducing box dimensions and void fill. A typical audit finding: a single oversized box reference used across thousands of orders, where dropping one size saves both material and a freight-rate tier. Our PPWR compliance checklist, built directly from the text of Regulation (EU) 2025/40, is a sample of the detail we work at.

Frequently asked questions

What does the free diagnostic include?

A 20-minute call where we review your packaging, order mix, and PPWR exposure, and tell you honestly where the savings and the compliance risk are. No obligation to continue.

How much can I really save?

Structured optimisation typically cuts 10–30% off cost per shipment by right-sizing boxes and reducing void fill. We give you a figure based on your own data, not a generic estimate.

Do I have to commit to a retainer?

No. The diagnostic audit is a standalone, paid piece of work. The monthly retainer is optional — for clients who want us to implement and maintain the improvements.

What is PPWR and does it affect me?

PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. Its first binding obligations take effect in August 2026; the packaging minimisation and 50% void-space rules apply from January 2030. If you put packaging on the EU market, it almost certainly affects you.

Which markets do you work with?

Cogton is based in Luxembourg and works with businesses across Spain, France, and the wider EU — in Spanish, English, and French.

How is this different from a sustainability consultancy?

We approach packaging as an engineer, not a generalist. Recommendations are operational and measured by their impact on cost — compliance comes as part of the same change, not as a separate report.
