3 steps to PPWR Compliance

1. Compliance evidence & technical file readiness:

Supplier documentation, data verification, and audit-ready file maintenance.

2. Packaging redesign 

Material selection, design modification, and structural changes to meet customer and regulatory requirements.

3. Reporting & fees

Identify roles and responsibilities and calculate fees

PPWR step 1.png

Compliance evidence

For many companies, the largest workload PPWR requires is managing compliance evidence. PPWR requires managing data and evidence across many suppliers, packaging formats and SKUs.

PPWR introduces a shift in sustainability regulation with obligations distributed across quality, procurement, packaging & sustainability teams

PPWR implementation timeline

August 2026

Substances of concern limits

General application- EPR requirements

Febuary 2027

Green dot moves to
QR code

2029

Deposit return schemes must collect 90% of in-scope containers

2030

Recyclability standards & targets are in place

 

Prohibited packaging types introduced

2035 & beyond

Recycled at scale requirement in effect





Higher recyclability standards, recycled content & reuse targets

Responsibilities change depending on how a product is placed on the market & who controls the packaging decisions.

Uncertainty over PPWR requirements, including responsibilities, required data, compliance processes, and cross-team collaboration.

PPWR requires packaging data many companies have never had to collect before. The challenge lies in structuring this data so compliance can be maintained over time.

PPWR compliance requires a technical dossier. The real burden is often proving compliance and keeping evidence current.

As PPWR implementation approaches, these packaging and compliance challenges may already be impacting your business

Standardise & structure your data

Simvia uses AI document scanning to extract key fields from specifications and certificates, and stores them in a structured way. This enables teams to:

Interpret diverse specification and data sheets, including Declarations of Conformity (DoCs)

Structure per packaging unit, component and layer

Map to standardised material classifications

Automatically check your compliance exposure

Inconsistent evidence checks can create compliance exposure. Simvia ensures that any non-compliant components will be flagged for your approval.

For contact-sensitive packaging components, we help ensure assess PFAS and heavy metal thresholds against regulatory limits.

We track your product validity and completeness, including certificate expiration, compliance thresholds and documentation gaps

Unpacking the PPWR

The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) marks a major shift in the way packaging is designed, shipped, and disposed. It is a singular regulation that requires companies producing, buying, selling and disposing of goods to align under a number of specific EU-wide rules.

This white paper unravels the entire regulation, from packaging design, to how to prove compliance, as well as different actors’ responsibilities and disposal requirements.

questions

What data do we need to collect from suppliers?

Quand devons-nous avoir tout prêt et quelles sont les échéances clés ?

La date limite de mise en conformité est le 12 août 2026. À compter de cette date, tous les emballages mis sur le marché de l'UE devront être conformes aux exigences du PPWR.

Comment structurer et stocker les données d'emballage pour prouver la conformité ?

Vous devez créer un inventaire complet des emballages, associant chaque produit final à ses composants et à leurs couches.

La structure des données doit inclure :

Unité d’emballage final
Composants individuels
Couches de matériaux au sein de chaque composant
Informations sur le fournisseur pour chaque composant
Tous les champs de données de conformité par composant

Quelles données devons-nous collecter auprès des fournisseurs pour nous conformer à la réglementation PPWR ?

Pour l’échéance d’août 2026, selon votre rôle, vous devez collecter et vérifier :

Limites de PFAS
Métaux lourds et analyses
Spécifications techniques des emballages
Sensibilité au contact

Après 2026, des exigences supplémentaires s’ajouteront, notamment les scores de recyclabilité (d’ici 2030) et des données plus détaillées au niveau des composants.

Quel rôle avons-nous dans le cadre du PPWR et qu'est-ce que cela implique pour nos obligations ?

Votre rôle au titre de la REP dépend de votre position dans la chaîne d'approvisionnement et détermine vos obligations spécifiques. Il existe trois rôles principaux :

Fabricant : Si vous créez l'unité d'emballage finale que les consommateurs achètent (y compris les produits de marque distributeur), vous devez collecter toutes les informations relatives à l'emballage et établir une déclaration de conformité.

Producteur : Si vous mettez le produit sur le marché pour la première fois dans un pays donné, vous êtes responsable du paiement des redevances REP.

Distributeur : Si vous vous contentez de distribuer des produits sans modifier leur emballage, vos obligations sont différentes.
