AWEN Packaging Consulting helps businesses to be compliant with packaging regulations in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and globally. We create new packaging solutions that minimise the economy's impact on the environment, considering its end of life without diminishing a product's beauty or purpose. We encourage businesses to rise above the established cycle of waste, and recyclables and remove excess materials from their products altogether.
Our potential to lead change is limited only by our understanding of materials: their composition, their production, and their final destination (local waste management). AWEN helps business leaders rethink their packaging, redesign the system sustainably and realise their power to make a positive change for the planet without compromising business operations.
AWEN Packaging Consulting is committed to eliminating packaging waste in landfills by guiding both large corporations and SMEs through education. The team possesses extensive expertise in recycling processes, packaging materials, manufacturing, sustainability standards, and regulations. We provide clarity on local and global waste management systems, fostering an end-of-life approach when recommending packaging materials and designs.
Our insights into sustainable, innovative materials and circular economy principles help businesses make informed choices. With a strong industrial and engineering background, we offer a comprehensive approach to addressing challenges across the entire supply chain. We ensure our clients remain up-to-date with the latest packaging regulations in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe.

Recyclability Assessment & Labelling
Confidently meet recycling requirements worldwide. We assess the recyclability of your packaging and provide clear, market-ready recycling labels for Australia, New Zealand, and global markets—helping you build trust and transparency with your customers.
Simplify your obligations and ensure you never miss a requirement. As trusted consultants by APCO and the Australian Institute of Packaging, we take the stress out of APCO reporting—supporting you with Annual Reports, Action Plans, ARL reporting, and compliance audits.
With the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) coming into force, compliance is essential to remain competitive across Europe. We help you navigate the complex requirements of PPWR, ensuring your packaging strategy not only meets the new standards but also positions your business for long-term success in the European market.
The UK Market:
The UK is moving ahead with its own Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, creating a different set of obligations for businesses placing packaging on the market. We guide you through these evolving requirements, helping you build a strategy that ensures compliance, avoids costly penalties, reduces exposure to higher fees, and minimises the impact of the Plastic Packaging Tax, and keeps your products flowing smoothly into the UK market.
Australia’s mandatory climate reporting regime is already underway for the largest entities, with requirements phased in for additional companies through 2026 and 2027. In-scope organisations must prepare annual sustainability reports under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard AASB S2, including climate-related financial disclosures.
Packaging plays a critical role in these reports, as its impact is double: once for the materials used in production, and again for end-of-life disposal. From 2026, FMCG and large companies will demand verified carbon footprint data from their packaging suppliers to meet compliance obligations.
We help you stay ahead of these requirements by:
- Calculating your packaging carbon footprint in line with mandatory reporting standards
- Providing verified, client-ready data to support your customers’ compliance
- Positioning your business as a trusted, forward-thinking supplier in a competitive market
Don’t wait until your clients ask for your carbon footprint, be ahead, reduce risk, and turn it into a strategic advantage.
