The PPWR took effect on August 12. Are you missing anything?

PPWR Status Assessment Report

See how well your packaging portfolio meets PPWR requirements. You’ll receive your report within 3 business days after submitting your information .

A professional editorial photograph of diverse sustainable packaging prototypes—including molded pulp containers, clear glass jars, and minimalist recycled cardboard boxes—arranged neatly on a sleek, white laboratory workbench. Subtle, glowing digital overlays of technical schematics, circular economy symbols, and molecular structures float around the packaging, representing material analysis and compliance. The background is a bright, modern industrial design studio with soft, diffused daylight. The composition emphasizes precision, sustainability, and high-tech quality control, using a clean color palette of forest green, cool gray, and crisp white. High-resolution, cinematic lighting, with a shallow depth of field focusing on the detailed textures of the eco-friendly materials.

What questions does the report answer?

For which of your packaging products do you have sufficient evidence? Which SKUs require testing for PFAS, heavy metals, recyclability, or recycled content? In what areas is your technical file incomplete? The report answers these questions on a packaging family basis; it prioritizes the gaps and indicates what evidence is required.

Which types of packaging fall under the PPWR, and which roles entail obligations?

For each packaging category, which requirements are currently in effect, and which ones will take effect in the future?

Are the current supplier declarations, test reports, and certificates sufficient?

Is additional evidence required for PFAS, heavy metals, migration, recyclability, or recycled content?

Which documents are missing from the technical file and the EU Declaration of Conformity?

Which types of packaging do not currently meet the 2030 and 2038 requirements?

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Status Assessment Report is a preliminary eligibility assessment that demonstrates your portfolio’s readiness to meet PPWR requirements and provides the necessary evidence.

In the first stage, the available evidence is reviewed and the need for testing is determined. The necessary tests are then planned and conducted with your approval.

Scope is efficiently planned based on packaging families that share common materials and design features, rather than on the number of SKUs.

After you submit your packaging information, you will receive your PPWR Assessment Report within 3 business days.

No. We can start with your current documents. One of the goals of this study is to determine what evidence is missing and which tests are truly necessary.

No. It identifies gaps and priorities for the preparation of reports, technical files, and the EU Declaration of Conformity. It does not replace the manufacturer’s responsibility for conformity assessment and declaration.
