Who Uses EPSS?
  • Consumer Products Companies: Because of its open design, EPSS can be used by any company that manufactures packaged products for retail or commercial sale. Such companies fall across a broad range of industries, including:
    • appliances
    • computers and electronics
    • cosmetics and health care
    • household consumables
    • office products
    • toys/games
  • Packaging Companies: EPSS can also be useful to manufacturers/suppliers of packaging materials, who are increasingly being required by their customers to supply environmental information about the materials they provide. Examples include companies that manufacture/supply:
    • boxes
    • labels
    • laminated packaging materials
    • paper and paperboard
    • plastic containers, film, bags, resin
    • shrinkwrap
    • other shipping containers
  • Company Personnel: Within a company, EPSS is typically used by the following personnel:
    • environmental managers (determine environmental characteristics of products, assess impact of proposed/actual packaging restrictions, document improvement in environmental performance)
    • packaging engineers (record and manage packaging information, generate packaging specification reports, test impact of different packaging designs/materials)
    • marketing managers (determine whether environmental marketing claims can be made for products)
