About Eric

Packaging & Compliance Expert | Automotive - Cosmetics - Agri-food


I help you transform your regulatory constraints (PPWR, AGEC, EUDR) into a competitive advantage through a pragmatic approach to packaging, compliance, and CSR.

I support SMEs and large groups in securing their compliance for 2025-2030, reducing the environmental impact of their packaging, and avoiding greenwashing.

My Triptych of Expertise
✅ Regulatory Compliance: PPWR, AGEC, EUDR – audit, roadmap, operational implementation
✅ Eco-designed Packaging: impact analyses, packaging component optimization, material and cost reduction
✅ Operational CSR: strategy, indicators, CSRD reporting preparation

Examples of Results
🎯 Automotive: supporting a major client on PPWR/EUDR compliance and packaging strategy
🎯 Cosmetics: -40% plastic impact at constant cost for a skincare range
🎯 Agri-food: 100% AGEC compliance in 3 months for an SME with multiple references

My REDUCE© method (Rethink → Evaluate → Diminish → Use better → Communicate without greenwashing → Evolve) is based on a scientific approach and skills transfer to make your teams autonomous.

20+ years of experience, 150+ projects supported, 98% satisfied clients.
