Customer Case Study - The National Packaging Waste Database

 

Platform: Microsoft ASP.NET / Cloud

Project Management: Agile / DSDM

 

The National Packaging Waste Database is an online system which tracks how much packaging has been put into the UK market and how much packaging waste has been recovered or recycled. It provides an easy way for industries to prove they’re meeting legal requirements. This helps Defra prove that the UK is meeting our overall EU obligations.
