VerpackG-Registrierungs- und Meldeverstöße mit Bußgeldern
VerpackG non-compliance fines: €5,000–€100,000+ per infraction (typical range for registration/reporting failures). Estimated annual exposure for mid-sized manufacturers: €15,000–€50,000 per audit cycle if data gaps exist.VerpackG mandates that producers register before placing packaged goods on market, participate in an EPR system, and report material-specific recycling rates. Manual waste tracking creates bottlenecks in data collection, leading to incomplete or late submissions to authorities. Each non-compliance incident triggers investigations and fines. The law explicitly requires accurate documentation of packaging volumes and materials—unverified or missing data increases audit risk.
Produktionsausfälle durch manuelle Farbanpassung
20-40 hours/month idle time per press (at €50/hour labor)Automation reduces manual fine-tuning time, minimizing idle equipment during color verification in print production.
Redundante Migrationstest-Kampagnen und mehrfache DAkkS-Laborberichte
€2,500–€5,000 per standard migration test (OML + SML for one material); duplicate orders: 10–20% of test budget; expedited lab processing: +30–50% cost markup; idle capacity: 2–4 weeks per cycle × 5–10 materials/year = €15,000–€50,000 annual waste.Manufacturers must conduct overall migration limit (OML) testing and specific migration limit (SML) testing per EC 10/2011 via accredited labs. Manual coordination between materials development, quality, and external labs (Fraunhofer IVV, TÜV Rheinland, SGS) results in: (1) Duplicate test orders for the same material, (2) Inefficient lab scheduling, (3) Excess turnaround time (2–4 weeks per test), (4) Unnecessary expedited shipping for rush orders.
Kosten durch Farbabweichungen und Nacharbeiten
€50,000+ annually per facility on reprints and rework (industry standard 2-5% of production costs)Manual color matching and proof approval causes inconsistencies, leading to reprints and quality failures in the printing workflow.
