The Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) tool measures a product’s environmental footprint across its entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

This comprehensive view helps customers pinpoint hidden hot spots, cut carbon emissions, and drive meaningful sustainability improvements throughout the supply chain.

By integrating these assessments directly alongside the product record within a single, unified platform, organizations eliminate the need for disjointed spreadsheets. Impact data is preserved and can be instantly reused for corporate reporting, immediate customer inquiries, and sustainable design reviews, saving teams from rebuilding metrics for every individual request.

Furthermore, these automated results feed directly into both the digital product passport and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) calculator. This seamless data flow guarantees one consistent, audited set of numbers to satisfy the distinct needs of compliance, marketing, and procurement teams.

The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Tax Tool shows the financial implications of packaging decisions at the design stage, before anything is produced.

This specialized calculator promotes cost transparency early in the design and material specification process. A retailer or brand owner can see how design choices impact both sustainability and tax burden in advance. By modelling different design and material options, the tool shows how switching materials, reducing weight or changing format would affect EPR tax liability. Teams can weigh sustainability goals against cost impact and choose with both numbers in front of them.

This platform bridges the traditional gap between creative design engineering and corporate fiscal planning. By integrating regulatory fee structures directly into the early workflows, businesses can proactively optimize their environmental footprint while defending their profit margins. It eliminates the expensive trial-and-error approach that often occurs when compliance issues are only discovered right before mass production.

This strategic foresight empowers cross-functional teams to confidently launch eco-friendly packaging that aligns with global regulatory mandates and long-term financial targets.

Mainetti’s Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solutions revolutionise inventory management by going beyond simple product counting, enabling retailers to thrive in today’s competitive economy.

Our RFID technology gives store teams a live, item-level view of stock across the network, so replenishment, click-and-collect and ship-from-store all draw on the same reliable count. Tags are encoded and quality-checked in Mainetti facilities and can be paired with the Digital Product Passport, so one tag serves both operations and the consumer.

Mainetti offers a complete line of customised trim, packaging and intelligent labelling solutions for retailers and brands, with both UHF and NFC products certified for use with major RFID systems.

Labels, tickets and care labels are printed, encoded and verified to each retailer’s specification, then shipped from the region where the garments are made. NFC options let the same label carry a scannable link to the product passport, turning a compliance requirement into a direct channel to the shopper.

Mainetti’s RFID technology enhances customer experience, boosts conversion rates, optimizes omnichannel sell-through and increases store turnover.

By making retail processes more efficient, we free store teams from stock counts and back-of-house searching and give them time on the shop floor. Accurate inventory means fewer missed sales, cleaner markdowns and a single view of stock that online and in-store channels can both trust.

Sustainability sits at the core of everything we do, and we are committed to using the most sustainable materials possible across all of our businesses.

Our products are made from a variety of recycled and renewable sources. From flexible packaging films to mono-material boxes, Mainetti delivers innovative packaging that delivers real value to the brands and the end-consumer – improving overall quality of packaging while considering the end of life, and improving brand perception as a company that cares about its packaging choices.

Material choices are tested against the same data the End2End Platform reports on, so a switch made for environmental reasons can be checked against its lifecycle impact and its EPR cost before it reaches production. Today 73% of the energy powering Mainetti’s operations comes from renewable sources, under our Full Circle sustainability initiative.

When we say we are pioneers in the global circular economy, we mean it. For the last forty years Mainetti has been perfecting a circular business model through our patented Hangerloop™ and Polyloop processes.

Mainetti continues to invest in world-class factories focused on expanding plastic reuse and recycling capabilities globally. The company believes that Circularity and Reuse are good for business and good for the environment.

Hangerloop collects hangers from stores, sorts and inspects them, and returns them to the supply chain for reuse. Polyloop applies the same principle to polybags and film, recovering material that would otherwise be discarded. As a member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Mainetti works with retailers to widen both loops across more markets and more product categories.
