Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies for products and packaging, as part of a growing focus on sustainability and a circular economy, requires organisations to better manage and track all materials related to their products.
Superfy provides a real-time, accurate and cost effective materials management solution for Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) to meet EPR requirements.

While good for the environment, the implementation of an EPR system adds complexity and cost to your operations. Knowing where your products and materials are during manufacturing and production can be cumbersome enough, never mind once they’ve left the organisation facilities.
Superfy provides a sophisticated solution for reducing the costs of implementing a fully traceable process for tracking your product and material lifecycle. Using a combination of tags and sensors, along with a comprehensive software solution, you can digitize and automate the entire process of tracking materials, reporting location and volume, as well as all administrative tasks, such as payment processing, work order handling and carbon emissions reporting.
Do you rely on manual recording of information and additional administrative resources to manage each step of the EPR process.
The Superfy platform consolidates a variety of tasks and processes into one solution, ensuring accurate and auditable information is readily available. Linked to the date capture is a scalable set of modules to enhance the variety of operational administrative functions for your organisation.

The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy which places responsibility for the entire life-cycle of the product with the producer of products, including the material recovery and recycling from waste streams. Typical products within EPR systems include small consumer electronic equipment, packaging, tyres and lead-acid batteries.
Managing and overseeing these schemes, Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) take on various services ranging from oversight and reporting to more comprehensive collection and recycling services on behalf of the producer.
Depending on the product, company and location, the EPR responsibility and cost can vary throughout the product life-cycle, including material taxes on virgin materials, Upstream Combination Tax/Subsidy (UCTS), Advanced Disposal Fees (ADF), Deposit Return Schemes (DRS) or product take-back requirements.
