Repax Declare

Core Features

• Annex VIII Declaration of Conformity Generation

Repax Declare’s central feature is the generation of EU Declarations of Conformity based on Annex VIII of the PPWR. The platform converts the declaration requirements into a structured digital form, helping users complete the information needed to issue a declaration.

This matters because there is no simple official fill-in template that every producer can copy into their own system. Producers must still make the declaration, ensure that it contains the required information, and connect it to the relevant technical documentation. Declare reduces this manual burden by embedding the required declaration structure into software.

The platform should be described as generating the PPWR Declaration of Conformity documentation. It should not be described as automatically proving legal compliance. The declaration remains a producer statement supported by evidence.

• Article 5 to 12 Attestation Workflow

Declare guides users through the attestation of Articles 5 to 12 of the PPWR. These articles cover key packaging requirements under the regulation, and the declaration process requires the producer to state conformity with the relevant provisions.

The software allows users to mark requirements as attested or not applicable. This creates a clear internal record of how the producer approached the declaration. It also helps avoid a common compliance problem: creating a final document without a structured explanation of the evidence or assumptions behind it.

• Evidence Behind Every Claim

Declare allows evidence to be attached to each attested article. This may include supplier statements, test reports, technical documents, certificates, or other records that support the claim being made.

This is one of the tool’s most important features. A Declaration of Conformity is only as reliable as the evidence behind it. If the declaration states that packaging conforms with a PPWR requirement, the producer needs to be able to show why that claim was made.

By connecting evidence directly to each claim, Declare helps producers maintain a technical file that is more organised, traceable, and audit-ready. This reduces the risk that supporting documentation is scattered across email folders, supplier portals, or local drives.

• Immutable Issued Versions

When a declaration is issued in Repax Declare, the version is frozen into an immutable PDF with a unique ID. This means that the issued declaration remains fixed and traceable, even if the producer later edits the draft, updates evidence or changes packaging information.

This is important because compliance documents need to be reproducible. A company may need to show what declaration was issued at a specific date, not simply what the latest editable draft says. Immutable issued versions help preserve that historical record.

The ability to re-draft or void declarations issued in error gives users practical flexibility while maintaining a clear version history.

• QR Verification Page

Every issued declaration receives a QR code linked to a public verification page. This allows third parties to verify the declaration without receiving the producer’s full internal documentation.

Declare separates public, limited, and internal information, which is important for confidentiality. A producer may want to make the declaration verifiable externally while keeping supplier documents, technical evidence or internal notes restricted.

Views and downloads are tracked per version, providing a record of external engagement with each issued declaration.

• Five to Ten Year Retention

Repax Declare retains the declaration and its technical file for five years, or ten years where the packaging is reusable. This supports long-term compliance governance because declaration obligations and evidence requests may arise after the original packaging has been placed on the market.

Retention is especially important under PPWR because documentation needs to remain available for market surveillance and verification purposes. By embedding retention into the platform, Declare helps producers reduce the risk of losing technical files or issued declarations over time.

• Runs on Repax Core

Every Repax Declare account runs on the Repax Core platform, including the free tier. This means that broader product data capabilities sit underneath the Declare workflow. However, for feature classification, these broader capabilities should be attributed to Repax Core, not to Declare itself.

This distinction is important for Net Zero Compare. Declare whether a focused Declaration of Conformity product. Core is the broader EPR product-data and reporting platform. Declare may benefit from the Core foundation, but its own feature list should remain narrow.

Repax’s pricing page explains that one declaration means one active, signed EU Declaration of Conformity per packaging type, carrying a unique reference, QR-verifiable public page, and technical file backing it.

From an NZC perspective, the public pricing model is notable because many regulatory compliance tools rely solely on custom enterprise pricing. Repax Declares ’ self-serve pricing makes the tool accessible to small and medium-sized producers preparing for PPWR documentation obligations.

Integrations

Repax Declare itself has a short feature list. The broader integrations, including Shopify, WooCommerce, CSV/Excel imports, and REST API, sit under Repax Core rather than Declare.

This means that for Repax Declare’s own feature matrix, API & ERP integrations should not be marked. Users should only mark integrations under Repax Core.

Recommended wording:

Repax Declare runs on the Repax Core platform, but its own functional scope is focused on PPWR Declaration of Conformity generation, evidence retention, version control, and verification. Broader product and order-data integrations belong to Repax Core.

Certifications & Awards

No specific certifications or awards are publicly disclosed for Repax Declare.

The software helps producers generate, retain, and verify Declaration of Conformity documentation, but it does not itself certify packaging or provide third-party assurance. The declaration remains a producer responsibility, supported by the evidence attached to the technical file.

Typical customers include:

• small and medium-sized producers.

• e-commerce brands selling packaged products in the EU.

• packaging producers.

• consumer goods companies.

• companies placing reusable packaging on the EU market.

• businesses preparing for PPWR documentation requirements.

• larger producers with custom declaration volumes.

Typical use cases include:

• creating EU Declarations of Conformity for packaging.

• attesting PPWR Articles 5 to 12.

• attaching evidence behind each compliance claim.

• issuing signed and dated declaration PDFs.

• generating QR-verifiable declaration pages.

• retaining declarations and technical files for five or ten years.

• managing declaration versions over time.

Expert Voices & Market Position

Repax Declare sits in a narrow but important part of the sustainability compliance software market: PPWR Declaration of Conformity documentation.

It is more specific than Repax Core. Core supports broader EPR product data and scheme-specific reporting. Declare focuses on one urgent obligation: issuing and retaining packaging Declaration of Conformity documentation under PPWR.

This makes Declare different from:

• ESG platforms, which manage broad company-level sustainability data.

• carbon accounting tools, which calculate emissions.

• LCA tools, which model environmental impacts.

• EPR reporting tools, which prepare multi-market scheme reports.

• PIM systems, which manage commercial product information.

Within the Net Zero Compare taxonomy, Repax Declare should sit under:

• Packaging Compliance Software.

• Sustainability Compliance Software.

• PPWR Software.

• Extended Producer Responsibility Software, secondary only.

Its strongest differentiator is that it translates Annex VIII into a guided workflow with evidence, immutable issued versions, and public QR verification.

Closing Insights

Repax Declare is a focused software product for a specific PPWR documentation requirement. Its value lies in helping producers create declarations that are structured, evidence-backed, version-controlled, and verifiable.

The product’s narrowness is an advantage. It does not attempt to become a broad ESG platform or EPR data warehouse. Instead, it focuses on a clear compliance workflow that many producers will need to manage as PPWR obligations apply.

For producers placing packaging on the EU market, Repax Declare provides a practical way to prepare Declaration of Conformity documentation, retain supporting evidence, and make issued declarations verifiable over time.
