A note on assumptions
This calculator estimates direct PPT exposure and material-cost difference. It does not include: brand-perception lift, ESG reporting value, single-use plastic ban penalty exposure (rising in many markets), or tooling-cost amortization for custom SKUs. Real switching economics typically improve further when these factors are included.
