The PPWR introduces complex challenges for companies: detailed requirements, ongoing updates and strict documentation rules. Teams that prepare early and systematically reduce risks, speed up decision-making and gain full transparency across their packaging portfolio.
Without a unified article master and centralised specifications, PPWR risks cannot be identified, prioritised or managed effectively.
Materials, layer structures or recycled content are scattered across Excel sheets and email threads. Reliable recycling and fee assessments require a complete, consistent data foundation.
Manual data maintenance does not scale. Automated data quality checks, integrated PPWR validation and audit-ready documentation are now essential.
From 2026, technical documentation and declarations of conformity become mandatory. Outdated or missing files significantly increase audit and compliance risks.
Gut-based decisions are no longer enough. The PPWR requires article-level, evidence-based recyclability assessments.
Material switches affect costs, CO₂ and EPR fees. Without scenario simulations, companies risk costly missteps.
Ad-hoc email requests lead to long response times and data gaps. Standardised workflows dramatically speed up data collection.
PPWR-related decisions require cross-functional alignment. Missing governance leads to bottlenecks and friction.
QR codes and symbols only work if the data behind them is complete, correct and version-controlled.
Regulations and market expectations evolve continuously. Static setups become outdated quickly.
The key is professional digital packaging management: structured master data, automated supplier input, integrated recyclability and EPR assessments, and centralised documentation. This creates the foundation for safe, efficient and future-proof PPWR compliance.
