Gartner® Report: Cool Vendors™ in AI and Data Tools for Packaging EPR Reports
Discover how we believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data tools are shaping the future of Packaging EPR Compliance — and see why Specright was recognized.
Packaging legislation, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), is transforming how organizations manage and report packaging data. Our takeaway from the latest Gartner research, Cool Vendors in AI and Data Tools for Packaging EPR Reports (October 2025), is that new technologies are emerging to help supply chain leaders address data quality, compliance, and sustainability challenges through AI and automation.
Packaging data quality is a growing risk for organizations as legislation requires reporting, accuracy, and accountability. In our opinion the vendors mentioned in this research are transforming the market with innovative AI and data expertise, enabling supply chain technology leaders to address data quality.
Data quality and accessibility of packaging specifications are central pain points for brands — most still rely on Excel, shared drives, and email for spec management.
AI and automation are emerging as the differentiators to address compliance, data accuracy, and reporting efficiency.
