BUILT FOR
the food & beverage industry
One practical PPWR solution, enabling you to move from supplier requests to signed declaration of conformity
Simvia collects your packaging data in combination with food safety and sustainability data. Our platform:
Standardises and structures this data
Keeps technical dossier up-to-date.
Automates the conformity assessment process on all relevant PPWR aspects (articles), with DoC generation that holds up under inspection.
STEP 1
Bulk data import: products
and packaging in one place
Upload all your product and packaging data in one go using a standardised, shareable Excel template. Within a few clicks, everything lands in Simvia in the right format: no formatting from scratch. This is where structured PPWR compliance begins.
STEP 2
Packaging data structured per product, clean and hierarchical
Your imported packaging and food product data becomes a clear, visual hierarchy. Mapping starts at SKU level, and is linked to packaging units. Each packaging unit breaks down into its components. Each component maps to its material layers. Four levels, fully connected, giving you the clean data foundation that supplier engagement and compliance checks depend on.
STEP 3
Packaging data requests sent directly to suppliers, per SKU
Select the packaging data you need and hit send. Suppliers receive the request to complete a standardised packaging questionnaire, either in their Simvia account or by email.
On their end, AI-assisted extraction does the heavy lifting for completion: dimensions, materials, substance compliance, and more. Manual data entry is largely eliminated.
STEP 4
Instant compliance overview: what’s compliant, what's missing, where are the gaps?
Upload all your product and packaging data in one go using a standardised, shareable Excel template. Within a few clicks, everything lands in Simvia in the right format: no formatting from scratch. This is where structured PPWR compliance begins.
STEP 5
Keep your technical dossier complete, up-to-date, and audit-ready
Collect technical files from suppliers, keep them up-to-date as specs change, and maintain everything in one place as proof of PPWR compliance. Product specs, test reports, material declarations and more are stored per component and ready to demonstrate whenever needed.
STEP 6
Declaration of Conformity generated in one click
DoC creation comes naturally once all five steps are complete. All compliant data is already in the platform: structured, verified & traceable. One click generates a PPWR-compliant Declaration of Conformity, ready to share with customers, auditors, or authorities.
This is how Simvia helps you build and maintain PPWR compliance in practice
Responsibilities shift by PPWR-defined role: manufacturer, importer, and distributor.
Packaging data is unstructured and scattered across teams
Email and Excel across hundreds of products/SKUs breaks at PPWR scale
Your technical dossier is only as current as your last manual update
A Declaration of Conformity cannot be issued if the data behind it is incomplete
Major pain points from 270+ EU food & beverage professionals we surveyed
Supplier evidence collection with less manual back-and-forth
Know which packaging is compliant and which is not, at any moment
Your technical dossier is complete, up-to-date, and producible any time
Our solution supports your PPWR needs,and future compliance
"To be honest, many companies are currently overwhelmed by the requirements of the PPWR, and it is often unclear exactly how to implement them. This makes it all the more helpful that Simvia works closely with experts to collate all the information and present it in a clear and accessible way. This makes our work much easier and saves us a great deal of our own resources.‘

What PPWR success looks like for you and your team
manufacturer
Issue the Declaration of Conformity (Art. 15) & technical file, collect substance compliance data from suppliers. Applies regardless of where the packaging was physically made.
We help manufacturers
Most F&B companies hold more than one role across their product range. Your actual role may depend on contract terms, market structure, and specific packaging arrangements. We can help you define your role before acting.
Manufacturer, importer, or distributor: what PPWR requires from your role
Your role under PPWR determines exactly what you need to collect, sign, register, and maintain. Once you know your role, the obligations are clear.

questions
What data do we need to collect from suppliers?
Does Simvia handle reporting beyond August 2026?
Yes. The platform is built to support ongoing compliance, including future recyclability assessments, and the requirements that come into force from 2026 until 2030. The data you collect now does not become redundant, it becomes the foundation.
How long does it take to get started with Simvia?
Onboarding is structured around your existing supplier data and packaging portfolio. Most customers are operational within a few weeks. We do not require a full data audit before you can start, we can start with what you have and build from there.
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.
