Trusted by a network of 200,000 suppliers and over 700 wholesalers, processors, and retailers
Increasing customer expectations and PPWR complexity exposes the limits of manual processes
Large volumes of packaging data is often collected manually
Sustainability, quality and procurement teams spend significant time gathering and analysing packaging specifications from suppliers.
Scattered documentation across different systems
Certificates of conformity (CoC), declarations of compliance (DoC), material specifications, and sustainability data are often stored across ERP systems, emails, spreadsheets, and different departments, making updates costly and limits visibility between teams.
Evolving regulations are difficult to keep up with
New regulations and evolving requirements for recyclability, recycled content, and labelling, requires teams to continually revise packaging data and supporting documents to stay compliant.
Complex packaging specifications require in-depth data management
Collecting, verifying, and updating packaging specifications, material certifications, and sustainability metrics from multiple suppliers adds administrative workload and increases the risk of errors and non-compliance.

Answers to the most asked questions
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.
What data do we actually need to collect from suppliers for the August 2026 deadline?
For the August 2026 deadline, the priority data points are: PFAS limits and testing, heavy metals analysis, technical packaging specifications, contact sensitivity classification, reusability criteria and material composition by layer. What makes this complex is that the required level of detail varies by packaging type, component, and your role. Beyond 2026, additional requirements, including recyclability scores come into force. We help you collect what you need now, and structure for what comes next.
How do we structure and store packaging data to prove compliance?
PPWR requires an auditable technical dossier, not one big folder with all your PDFs. You need to map each final product to its packaging components and layers, with compliance data and supporting documents fully traceable. The structure should include: final packaging unit, individual components, material layers per component, supplier information, and the compliance data fields required per your role. Simvia builds and maintains this structure for you.
What is my role under PPWR — and what does that mean in practice?
Your role depends on your position in the supply chain. There are three main roles: manufacturer: any actor responsible for manufacturing packaging or packaged goods, including those who have goods designed or manufactured under their own name or trademark. producer :Any actor that first makes packaging or packaged products available in a Member State, or unpacks packaged products without being the end user, and distributor: handles products without controlling packaging decisions, any actor in the supply chain who makes packaging or packaged products available on the market. Each has different obligations — from who files the declaration of conformity to who pays EPR fees. Many companies hold more than one role across their portfolio.
What if our suppliers are slow to respond?
This is the most common practical barrier our customers face. Simvia sends structured requests on your behalf and manages the follow-up automatically. You track response rates by supplier in your dashboard, not your inbox. Where suppliers remain unresponsive, we help you prioritise escalation based on compliance risk.
