PPWR Connect is a packaging compliance platform designed to help companies meet the requirements of the EU's Product Packaging and Waste Regulation (PPWR). It targets manufacturers, retailers, and brand owners managing complex packaging portfolios across multiple EU markets. The platform treats PPWR compliance as an ongoing, data-driven process, linking supplier inputs, product-level data, and regulatory timelines within a single system. By aligning workflows with official Commission guidance, PPWR Connect supports organisations that need to coordinate compliance activities across functions while maintaining audit-ready documentation as requirements evolve.

Core Features

PPWR Connect approaches packaging compliance as a continuous, portfolio-wide process, combining regulatory interpretation with structured data management and workflow automation. Built around the European Commission’s guidance, it connects supplier data, product specifications, and regulatory obligations into a single operational framework. Its key capabilities include:

  • Automated Declaration of Conformity – Collects supplier data, tracks responses, and validates submissions against Article 39 requirements while maintaining traceable audit records.

  • Portfolio Management & Tracking – Maps packaging portfolios across SKUs, suppliers, and markets, with visibility into compliance status and upcoming regulatory deadlines.

  • Recyclability Grade Assessment – Assesses packaging against EU recyclability criteria (A–E grades), providing predictive scoring and design adjustment guidance.

  • EPR Management (EU-wide) – Supports Extended Producer Responsibility obligations across all 27 member states, including registration, reporting, and fee tracking.

  • Digital Product Passport & Labelling – Generates compliant data structures and labelling formats, including QR codes, pictograms, and sorting instructions aligned with upcoming deadlines.

  • PPWR Academy (Training Platform) – Provides structured training courses to help teams understand regulatory requirements and prepare for compliance audits.

Closing insights

PPWR Connect reflects the increasing operational complexity introduced by Regulation (EU) 2025/40, where compliance extends beyond reporting into product design, supplier coordination, and lifecycle documentation. The regulation introduces interconnected requirements—ranging from recyclability grades and recycled content targets to labelling and Extended Producer Responsibility—applied consistently across all EU member states.

Within this context, the platform’s design aligns regulatory interpretation with execution. By structuring compliance around packaging portfolios rather than individual submissions, it addresses the need for continuous data management as requirements evolve toward key milestones, including Declaration of Conformity obligations from 2026 and Digital Product Passport implementation from 2027.

Its inclusion of recyclability grading, EPR tracking, and documentation workflows reflects how different aspects of the regulation must be managed simultaneously. The addition of training through PPWR Academy further indicates that compliance is not only a technical process but also an organisational one, requiring internal understanding of regulatory expectations.
