Packaging audit

Packaging Audit (Pakendiaudit) in Estonia — required by law or recycling bodies. Ensure your packaging reports are accurate, verified, and fully compliant.

upon request

Description

If your company places packaged goods on the Estonian market or imports goods with packaging, you're legally required to report packaging volumes and ensure proper recovery.

Our Packaging Audit (Pakendiaudit) service helps verify that your reports are accurate and comply with environmental laws.

This type of audit is often mandatory for companies that exceed certain thresholds, or for those working with packaging recovery organizations (such as TVO or Eesti Pakendiringlus), who may require it for verification purposes.

We review your packaging data, check supporting documentation, and issue a signed audit statement accepted by the Packaging Register and recycling partners.

Even if not required by law, a Pakendiaudit can help you avoid reporting errors, improve transparency, and reduce compliance risks.

 

What’s Included

  • Review of Packaging Reports
  • We assess your reported packaging volumes by material type (plastic, cardboard, metal, glass, etc.), and verify whether the data reflects actual activity.
  • Document Verification
  • We cross-check your contracts, invoices, and declarations to ensure the accuracy and traceability of your packaging records.
  • Regulatory Compliance Check
  • We verify compliance with the Estonian Waste Act, Packaging Act, and the requirements of packaging recovery organizations.
  • Audit Statement Preparation
  • We issue a signed audit report (Pakendiaudit), accepted by the Packaging Register and major recovery systems such as TVO and Eesti Pakendiringlus.
  • Correction Guidance

If we find inconsistencies or risks, we provide clear explanations and recommendations — so you can correct the issues before submission.

Timing

The exact timeline may vary depending on the complexity of your packaging data and the need for clarifications.

We confirm a detailed schedule after an initial review of your documentation.
