Root Packaging Audit
Gain clarity on the recyclability, reputational and regulatory risks of your packaging, and understand the social and environmental impacts
A Root Packaging Audit analyses your packaging and provides an actionable report that outlines compliance risks, recyclability, green claim accuracy, as well as sustainability performance against competitor brands.
The regulatory landscape is increasingly overwhelming and, as a non-expert, it can be hard to know what risks you are exposed to and how to mitigate them.
We have designed a low-cost, high-impact audit that pinpoints precisely where and how you need to act to improve the sustainability credentials of your packaging.
You can use this report to:
- Improve pack recyclability
- Avoid making misleading ‘green claims’
- Reduce risk of compliance fines
- Improve your competitiveness
- Build a business case to secure funding and resource for sustainability projects

Why choose Root?
- Root focuses purely on product and packaging. Our highly experienced consultants are sustainable packaging specialists, not sustainability generalists.
- Our aim is to offer a ‘first foot in the door’ analysis, so you can easily assess the true environmental impact of your packaging.
- We don’t talk jargon or provide you with a set of complex and unfathomable stats. Instead, we interpret complex findings into clear, intelligible, and actionable insights that ‘non-experts’ find easy to understand and follow.
- We don’t leave it there; our experts remain on hand, offering support and guidance throughout your sustainable packaging implementation; something that other wholly science, or data-based services don’t have the practical capability to do.
