VerdLynx

Core Features

• Declarations of Conformity and Technical Documentation

VerdLynx drafts Annex VIII Declarations of Conformity and links those declarations to supporting technical documentation. The platform is designed for human sign-off, meaning the software prepares the evidence-backed draft while the company remains responsible for final review and signature.

This is a core PPWR compliance function and one of the most important reasons to list VerdLynx in the EU PPWR Compliance Software category.

• Restricted Substances and Packaging Bans Screening

VerdLynx parses lab Certificates of Analysis and screens values against PFAS and heavy-metal thresholds. This supports packaging substance compliance and helps reduce reliance on unverified supplier declarations.

This feature is highly relevant for brands that need to prove that packaging materials meet restricted substance limits.

• Recyclability Assessment

VerdLynx grades recyclability and provides reasoning behind the assessment. Public product messaging references A–E grade predictions and redesign recommendations.

This makes the platform relevant to recyclability assessment, packaging improvement and compliance readiness.

• Labelling and QR Code Management

VerdLynx checks packaging artwork for required markings using AI vision. It also prepares Digital Product Passport data and supports QR or GS1 Digital Link-related workflows.

This supports both physical packaging compliance and digital product information access.

• Supplier Collaboration Tools

VerdLynx helps brands collect and manage evidence from suppliers, including documents, lab results, certificates and packaging-related compliance data.

This is relevant because packaging compliance is rarely controlled by one internal team alone. Suppliers, converters and testing labs all contribute evidence.

• Audit Trail and Evidence Retention

VerdLynx retains evidence and shows the reasoning behind each verdict. This supports internal review, future audits, and defensible compliance decisions.

This feature is essential because PPWR compliance requires not only a conclusion, but a record showing how that conclusion was reached.

• AI Vision Artwork Review

VerdLynx uses AI vision to check packaging artwork for required markings. This helps identify missing or incorrect labelling elements before packaging is placed on the market.

This feature is especially useful for SKU-heavy brands with frequent artwork updates.

• Certificate of Analysis Parsing

VerdLynx parses lab Certificates of Analysis against relevant thresholds. This can reduce manual review time and improve consistency when evaluating PFAS and heavy-metal results.

• Verdict Reasoning

VerdLynx shows reasoning behind every verdict. This makes the platform more useful than black-box automation because users can see why a packaging item passed, failed, or needs review.

• Digital Product Passport Preparation

VerdLynx prepares DPP data for packaging-related product information workflows. This gives the platform secondary relevance to DPP readiness, especially where packaging data must be made available digitally.

• SME-Friendly Self-Serve Workflow

VerdLynx is designed for brands and SMEs. The free tier and transparent pricing make it suitable for businesses that need to start with a limited number of SKUs and scale later.

Plans & Pricing

VerdLynx offers four public, self-service pricing plans, with no sales call required. All plans include access to the full set of compliance tools, while usage limits vary according to the number of SKUs, monthly artwork checks, user seats, and document retention period.

The Free plan is available at $0 per month and supports up to 10 SKUs, 25 artwork checks per month, and one user seat, with document retention for 90 days. The Starter plan, priced at $49 per month, includes up to 50 SKUs, 50 monthly artwork checks, three seats, and permanent document retention. The Growth plan costs $149 per month and increases capacity to 250 SKUs, 250 artwork checks per month, 10 seats, and permanent document retention. The Pro plan, priced at $349 per month, provides unlimited SKUs, artwork checks, and user seats, together with priority support.

Annual subscriptions are charged at the equivalent of 10 monthly payments, effectively providing two months free.

Integrations

VerdLynx supports packaging compliance workflows by processing artwork, Certificates of Analysis, supplier evidence and SKU-level packaging data. It prepares technical documentation, DPP data and Annex VIII Declaration of Conformity drafts, while retaining evidence and reasoning for audit review.

Certifications & Awards

No specific certifications or awards are publicly disclosed for VerdLynx in the reviewed sources. VerdLynx supports PPWR evidence review, technical documentation, audit trails, recyclability assessment and Declaration of Conformity drafting, but it does not itself provide legal advice, laboratory testing, product certification or third-party sustainability assurance.

Expert Voices & Market Position

VerdLynx occupies a focused and timely position in the packaging compliance software market. It is not a broad ESG platform or generic packaging database. It is a PPWR-specific tool designed to help brands and SMEs prepare evidence-backed compliance records.

Compared with adjacent tools:

• Generic compliance software may track tasks, but VerdLynx reviews packaging evidence.

• Supplier declaration workflows may collect statements, but VerdLynx checks lab reports, artwork, and supporting evidence.

• DPP tools may publish product data, but VerdLynx focuses on PPWR packaging compliance and Annex VIII documentation.

• LCA tools model environmental impacts, while VerdLynx grades recyclability and screens packaging compliance evidence.

• ESG platforms manage corporate sustainability disclosure, while VerdLynx manages SKU-level packaging compliance evidence.

VerdLynx should be positioned as:

• EU PPWR Compliance Software.

• Packaging Compliance Software.

• Product Compliance Software.

• Recyclability Assessment Software.

• Digital Product Passport Software.

• Supplier Compliance Software.

• Audit & Evidence Management Software.

• Regulatory Compliance Software.

The strongest editorial point is that VerdLynx is evidence-first. Its value lies in reading the underlying proof behind packaging compliance, not only generating declarations.
