DHL Exel Supply Chain has launched a packaging compliance scheme to help its customers conform with packaging waste regulations.

The logistics giant will handle all the administration, data reporting and compliance evidence to ensure that each year its members have paid for the recovery and recycling of the required amount of packaging.

It is supported by DHL's Packaging Datastore of 4.5 million packaging product weights, which will help DHL perform the calculation of a company's waste packaging obligations and ensure the correct level of Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs) are purchased.

Sean Hodges, head of DHL Exel Supply Chain's Environmental and Compliance Solutions, said: "DHL's new packaging compliance scheme will provide customers with a cost effective, one-stop shop for WEEE, packaging and data calculation services.

"Customers will benefit from our considerable buying power and enjoy the surety of a service backed by the DHL brand, an important consideration for customers in today's challenging economic environment."

The logistics specialist will be offering special introductory membership rates to mark the launch of the scheme.

DHL's international network links more than 220 countries and territories across the world.
