Cost and compliance sit with different teams.
Packaging engineering and procurement focus on cost and functionality, compliance checks the rules, and finance hears about it last. Each team optimizes for its own targets instead of the overall goal.
Use case: packaging optimization
Optimize packaging specs for cost, EPR, and compliance
Neta AI reads your specs down to the component, uses AI to model material, weight and design changes, and shows what each one does to cost, fees and compliance in every market you sell into.

The problem
Packaging decisions get made without the full picture
Spec data is scattered and incomplete.
Materials, weights and components live across BOMs, spec sheets, CAD files and ERP, and the field a rule or fee depends on is often the one that’s missing.
Requirements, fees, and exemptions differ by market.
Fee schedules, covered materials, and exemptions shift every year as new programs come online. A cost model built last year might already be out of date.
Innovation stalls without the numbers.
New materials rarely reach launch without a clear business case. When no one can show the full effect on cost, fees and compliance, promising alternatives stay stuck in R&D and never make it to scale.

How Neta AI does it
From your current spec to the change worth making
Every SKU is modeled against the fees and rules where it sells, so you can see the savings before you change anything.

Levers we model
Every change your team is weighing, modeled the same way
Optimization levers
Material substitution
Swap a resin, substrate or coating and see the fee, cost and compliance effect in every market.
Lightweighting
Reduce grams per unit within a modeled range, keeping the same material.
Recycled content
Raise PCR content and see how it changes fees and recycled content requirements.
Mono-material redesign
Combine components into one material so the pack is easier to recycle and cheaper to report.
Supplier changes
Compare specs and unit costs across suppliers for the same component.
Custom scenarios
Have a change in mind that isn't listed? Describe it to our AI and we'll model it with you.
Every scenario accounts for:
Fee schedules by jurisdiction
Each program's material categories, rates and eco-modulation, kept current.
Material rules
Bans, recyclability definitions and recycled content mandates where the SKU sells.
Component-level specs
Each component's material and weight, not a SKU-level average.
Unit cost and volume
Annual units sold and cost per unit, so savings show in dollars, not percentages.

PLM / spec systems
Cost, EPR fee and compliance impact in the same scenario
Compare alternative materials and specifications across multiple scenarios
Every option checked against 800+ regulations
Shows where a new material is allowed, by market and location
Opportunities ranked by savings, feasibility and risk
Year-by-year EPR fee projections as state programs start
Automated impact assessment when regulations change
AI assistant that suggests alternatives and explains tradeoffs
Shared intelligence across teams, so decisions aren't made in silos
