Pickler has customers located/shipping all over the world. It's likely that where you ship your products to (final warehouse location) is the region where your product will end up in the waste management systems.

Based on where you ship your packaging products, you can choose one or more EOL regions in Pickler. The EOL regions in Pickler are:

  • Europe

  • USA

  • Oceania (Australia)

  • Rest of the world

Pickler works with default values for EOL. Read more about our EOL scope below.

1. Importing EOL regions via CSV

1. Download Pickler's CSV import template by going to your portfolio overview and clicking on 'more' and 'import CSV'/Excel. You'll find the template here.

2. Fill out the product ID column and the 2 new EOL columns:

  • Column AB= PicklerDB.EOLRegion.Ids

Values here are:

L.00001 Europe

L.00002 Oceania

L.00003 Asia

L.00004 North America

L.00005 South America

L.00006 Africa

Should you have multiple regions for one product it should be entered with a ";" in between.

- For example:

L.00001;L.00002

  • Column AC= PicklerDB.EolRegion.Shares

The shares come in the same order as the regions in column AB should you add multiple.

In the case of multiple shares, it should be entered with a ";" in between.

- For example:

30;70

3. Import your CSV file (this won't override your current data in Pickler)

4. Your eco forecast and comparison results now show the share and eco costs connected to your EOL region(s).

Example:

Say your products are all shipped only within Europe their EOL most likely takes place in Europe too. If you're EOL is 100% Europe it should be entered as:

AB=L.00001

AC=100

2. Adjusting EOL regions in the product form

You can also adjust EOL in the product form. By adding the regions and shares as shown below.
