Reath

Reath is an Edinburgh software company that helps businesses manage packaging data, regulatory compliance, and reusable packaging. It trades through Reath Technology Ltd, incorporated in Scotland in 2019. The platform is aimed at brands, retailers, manufacturers, and the operators who run reuse schemes.

The software calculates UK Extended Producer Responsibility fees and runs recyclability assessments using the RAM methodology. A packaging comparator models cost, carbon, and material use across different options, so teams can test changes before committing to them. For reusable packaging, an Android scanning app and online dashboard track each item from deployment to return, with metrics such as reuse rate and cycle time.

Reath also offers digital product passports for packaging and publishes guidance on EPR, the UK Plastic Packaging Tax, and reuse. Logos shown on its website include Unilever, Marks & Spencer, Biffa, and Wolseley. The company was called Pomelo Collective Ltd until it changed its name in December 2020.
