Who we are – PackFlow's mission, Valpak's expertise
We combine the UK’s largest product and packaging database with expert consultancy to deliver evidence-based insights that shape policy, guide strategy, and advance the circular economy.
About PackFlow
PackFlow is a specialist website developed by Valpak Limited to support governments and businesses with packaging and product data management, and unique compliance insight. While PackFlow operates as a standalone solution, it benefits from Valpak’s extensive experience in environmental compliance and data services.
Leading the way in environmental compliance & sustainability
Valpak by Reconomy, a leading provider of environmental compliance solutions in the UK, created PackFlow Reports to meet the evolving needs of Governments, NGOs and businesses to map and navigate environmental regulations. With over two decades of expertise, Valpak ensures that PackFlow is built on a foundation of reliability, accuracy, and industry insight and collaboration.
Together, PackFlow and Valpak offer a powerful combination: dedicated reports that map out all aspects of producer responsibility compliance, backed by a trusted name in sustainability and data excellence.
Forecasting material flows and recycling performance
PackFlow is Valpak’s dedicated website for its material flow reports, designed to quantify the volumes of materials placed on markets and track how much is recycled and where activity takes place. It draws from one of the UK’s largest packaging databases—over 60 million SKUs—to deliver accurate, actionable insights to a granular level.
Whether you’re a policymaker, local authority, business, or industry body, our PackFlow Reports help you to:
- Understand material flows by granular material type, by region and by sector
- Forecast compliance against recycling targets
- Identify opportunities for infrastructure investment
- Support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) planning
The evidence behind UK packaging legislation
With global environmental producer responsibility regulations and voluntary commitments evolving rapidly, reliable data is more important than ever. PackFlow reports are used by:
- UK governments to set recycling targets
- NGOs, including WRAP, and industry bodies to shape sustainability initiatives
- Businesses to prepare for EPR, meet compliance obligations and plan investment
Our latest reports include projections to 2028, covering each of the main material types: glass, aluminium, steel, paper/card, plastic, and wood.
