Repax Core

Core Features

• Structured Product Catalogue

Repax Core provides a structured product catalogue designed specifically for EPR reporting. Rather than storing products as simple SKUs with limited descriptive fields, the platform breaks each product into reusable data layers: material, component, assembly and product.

This structure allows producers to describe products in the level of detail required by EPR schemes, where weight, material type, product composition and packaging structure often determine reporting obligations.

This is particularly important for companies selling products with multiple packaging layers or product components. For example, a single consumer product may include a cardboard box, plastic film, printed inserts, batteries, electronic components and protective packaging. Each of these elements may fall under different reporting rules or fee categories depending on the market.

Repax Core allows those elements to be modelled in a consistent way, reducing the risk that reporting data is incomplete or inconsistent. The reusable structure also improves data maintenance. If a material is updated, the change can be carried through to every component, assembly or product that uses it. This reduces duplicate work and helps companies maintain consistency across large catalogues.

• Packaging Data Model (SKU/BOM)

A central feature of Repax Core is its SKU/BOM-style packaging and product data model. The platform treats each product as a structured bill of materials rather than a flat catalogue entry. This makes it suitable for EPR reporting because producer responsibility schemes often require data that goes beyond normal commercial product information.

The platform can capture product-level identifiers, assemblies and subassemblies, components used in the product, material composition, material mass, packaging layers, and supporting documentation.

This model is useful because EPR filings are usually based on what is actually placed on the market, not simply what appears in a product catalogue. By combining SKU-level data with bill-of-materials logic, Repax Core helps producers create a durable data foundation that can be reused across different reporting cycles.

• Multi-Scheme Report Builder

Repax Core generates scheme-specific reports from a single underlying product specification. This addresses one of the biggest pain points in EPR compliance: each market or producer responsibility organisation may ask for similar information in different formats, using different field names, dimensions, units or categories.

For example, reporting requirements in Denmark, Germany, France and Italy may differ even when they relate to similar packaging or product categories. Without a structured system, companies often manage these differences manually using separate spreadsheets for each market. This increases the risk of errors, duplicated work and inconsistent data.

Repax Core reduces that burden by allowing producers to define the product once and then generate reports according to the relevant scheme or market expectations. Reports can be exported as CSV, making them suitable for downstream filing workflows or internal review.

The platform should be described as supporting EPR report preparation and data export, not as a filing service. It helps producers build the reports that schemes expect, but it does not replace legal responsibility for submitting accurate filings.

• Frozen-at-Sale Snapshots

One of Repax Core’s most distinctive features is its frozen-at-sale snapshot model. Each shipped order locks in the product specification that was valid at the moment of sale. This means that if the product catalogue changes later, the historical sales remain linked to the correct version of the product data.

This is highly relevant for EPR reporting because filings often relate to historical sales periods. A company may need to reproduce a 2024 filing years later, even if the product’s materials, packaging, suppliers or specifications have changed since then. Without version control, it can be difficult to prove what was actually sold at the time.

Repax Core’s frozen-at-sale model supports auditability by preserving the historical relationship between the shipped order and the product specification. This allows older filings to be reproduced accurately and reduces the risk of reporting drift over time.

• Sales and Order Data Integration

Repax Core connects product specifications with sales and order data. This is important because EPR obligations are typically triggered by products placed on the market. Product data alone is not enough. Producers also need to know what was sold, where it was sold and when it was shipped.

The platform supports live connectors for Shopify and WooCommerce, as well as CSV and Excel imports. It also provides a REST API for custom data flows. Planned integrations include PrestaShop, Magento, Dinero and e-conomic.

These integrations make Repax Core particularly relevant for e-commerce businesses and SMEs that sell across multiple markets. By linking order data with structured product specifications, the platform can build reporting outputs based on actual shipped products rather than static catalogue assumptions.

The integration layer should be positioned as commerce and order-data integration for EPR reporting, not as IoT, sensor or operational monitoring integration.

• Evidence and Document Retention

Repax Core allows supporting documents to be attached directly to the relevant product or product-data record. These documents may include certificates, manuals, supplier statements, technical documentation or other evidence needed to support EPR filings.

This matters because compliance reporting is not only about submitting figures. Producers must also be able to explain and substantiate the data behind those figures. If a producer responsibility organisation or auditor asks why a material was classified in a certain way, or how a reported mass was derived, the evidence should be easy to locate.

By storing supporting documentation alongside the relevant product data, Repax Core helps companies maintain a clearer audit trail. This reduces the risk that evidence is scattered across email inboxes, shared drives or supplier folders.

This feature supports audit readiness, but it should not be described as third-party assurance, certification or legal validation.

• Multi-Country Compliance Tracking

Repax Core is designed for producers operating across several markets. This is important because EPR compliance is not harmonised simply across Europe. Even where regulatory goals are similar, national schemes can differ in reporting structures, producer responsibility organisation requirements, deadlines and material classifications.

The platform helps producers manage the complexity of multi-country reporting by using one structured product-data model and mapping it into the required scheme-specific outputs. This is particularly useful for companies selling into several EU markets through e-commerce or distribution networks.

Repax Core should be positioned as supporting multi-country EPR data preparation and reporting workflows. It should not be described as guaranteeing compliance in every market, because local legal interpretation and filing responsibility remain with the producer.

• Multi-Product Coverage

Repax Core supports several product categories relevant to Extended Producer Responsibility. These include packaging, batteries and electronics, based on the information provided by the vendor. This makes the platform useful for businesses that fall under more than one EPR scheme at the same time.

Many producers do not have a single compliance obligation. A company may sell packaged products containing batteries or electronic components, which can trigger multiple reporting requirements. Managing each scheme separately can create duplicated work and inconsistent assumptions.

Repax Core’s product-data model helps manage this by allowing the same product specification to support different compliance views. This makes it easier to handle overlapping EPR obligations from a single structured data source.

• API and ERP Integrations

Repax Core includes a REST API and supports data imports from commerce platforms and structured files. This allows businesses to connect Repax with existing operational systems where product, order or sales data is already stored.

The available integrations currently include Shopify, WooCommerce and CSV/Excel. Additional integrations are planned. This makes Repax Core suitable for SMEs and growing e-commerce businesses that need practical connectivity without a large enterprise implementation.

For the feature matrix, API & ERP integrations can be marked because the product provides an API and is designed to receive structured data from business systems. However, the wording should remain careful: the confirmed integrations are commerce platforms, CSV/Excel and API-based integration, with some accounting or commerce integrations planned.

• Scheme-Specific Declarations and Reports

Repax Core supports scheme-specific reporting outputs. It uses the structured product specification and sales/order data to build reports aligned with the expectations of different markets or schemes.

This is especially relevant where different producer responsibility organisations require similar underlying information in different formats. Repax Core reduces the need to manually rebuild the same report multiple times.

The platform should be described as generating scheme-specific declarations or reporting outputs, especially CSV exports. It should not be described as submitting declarations automatically unless that is confirmed as part of a separate product or service.

Plans & Pricing

Repax Core has public self-serve pricing.

Available plans include:

• Free: €0/month

• Growth: €29/month

• Pro: €59/month

• Enterprise: custom plans

The platform also offers add-ons and a 14-day full trial with no card required.

The free plan is suitable for sole traders and micro-businesses that need a low-friction way to start structuring product compliance data. Growth and Pro are designed for small and medium-sized businesses with broader reporting needs, more products, more users or more complex EPR requirements. Custom plans are available for larger enterprises with higher volumes, more integrations or more advanced implementation needs.

From a Net Zero Compare perspective, Repax’s public pricing is notable. Many regulatory compliance tools use opaque enterprise pricing, while Repax offers a self-serve model that is accessible to smaller producers.

Expert Voices & Market Position

Repax Core occupies a specialist position in the sustainability software market. It sits between circular economy compliance software, product-data infrastructure and regulatory reporting tools.

It is more specific than a broad ESG platform and more compliance-focused than a general product data tool. It is also different from PPWR-focused tools that concentrate primarily on packaging declarations or material compliance. Repax Core focuses on EPR product-data infrastructure across multiple schemes.

Within the Net Zero Compare taxonomy, the strongest positioning is:

• Extended Producer Responsibility Software

• Sustainability Compliance Software.

• Circular Economy Software.

• Product Compliance Data Platforms.

Its strongest differentiator is that it treats product specifications and shipped orders as long-term compliance records. This is especially important for producers who need to reproduce historical filings accurately and maintain evidence over time.

Closing Insights

Repax Core should be understood as a specialist platform for producers that need to turn product and sales data into reliable EPR reporting outputs. Its value lies in structured product specifications, multi-scheme reporting, frozen-at-sale snapshots and evidence retention.

The platform is deliberately focused. It does not attempt to become a carbon accounting system, ESG dashboard, lifecycle assessment tool or general product information management platform. This narrow scope makes its positioning clearer and more credible.

For companies dealing with multiple EPR schemes, Repax Core offers a practical way to reduce duplicate reporting work, improve auditability and preserve product data as a durable compliance asset.
