Africa's Packaging & Recovery Intelligence Infrastructure
Packaging intelligence, grounded in reality.
Talk to usInfrastructure-adjusted recyclability
Scoring engine 2.0.0
The share of a pack's intrinsic recyclability that survives the recovery system of the market where it is sold. Select a cell to read it.

How a score is made
The scoring engine is deterministic and expert-designed. A pack starts from its material, loses points for each design decision that defeats sorting, and is then multiplied by the recovery infrastructure of the market where it is sold. The same inputs always produce the same score, so every result can be reproduced and audited.
AI is applied after the score, to analysis and reporting, never to the number itself.
Every figure in the ledger is produced by the same code that scores client SKUs.

Six measures, at SKU level
Localised recovery intelligence, expert assessment and AI-powered analysis, applied to every SKU in a portfolio.
- Recyclability
- Whether the material can be recycled at all, before context.
- Recoverability
- Whether it is actually recovered by the systems where it is sold.
- Recycled content
- How much post-consumer material the pack already carries.
- Material risk
- Exposure created by the material and design choices themselves.
- Circularity potential
- Mono-material construction, refill, renewable content, certification.
- EPR readiness
- Preparedness for Extended Producer Responsibility obligations.
- Who we are
- Africa's Packaging & Recovery Intelligence Infrastructure.
- What we do
- We transform packaging and recovery data into decision intelligence.
- How we're different
- Our intelligence is grounded in African recovery systems and regulatory realities, not assumptions from mature markets.
- Why we exist
- To power the transition to a transparent, circular packaging economy across Africa.
Every engagement ends in decisions, not a score
Assessments turn fragmented packaging data into intelligence that engineering, compliance, procurement, investment and executive leadership can each act on.
- Risk assessments
- SKU-level scoring across all six measures, with the drivers behind every score made explicit.
- Executive dashboards
- Portfolio exposure at a glance, for the people who have to answer for it.
- Engineering recommendations
- Specific material and design changes, not general advice.
- Compliance insights
- Where a portfolio stands against EPR obligations and what that implies.
- Improvement roadmaps
- Prioritised 30, 60 and 90 day plans that sequence the work.
Who we work with
- Manufacturers
- Consumer goods companies
- Packaging producers
- Producer Responsibility Organizations
- Recyclers
- Financial institutions
- Ecosystem partners
To become Africa's trusted intelligence infrastructure for packaging, recovery and circular economy data, powering better packaging decisions, stronger recovery systems, smarter investment and a more transparent material economy.
