Digital tool simplifies PPWR compliance declarations

From August 2026, companies will be obliged to digitally create declarations of conformity in accordance with PPWR. A new tool from Packliance and CHI will support them in this.

The impending introduction of PPWR compliance obligations presents significant challenges for companies in the packaging industry. Packliance and cyclos-HTP GmbH (CHI) have, in a strategic partnership, developed a digital tool that supports companies in creating the required declarations of conformity.

This solution enables efficient capture of packaging data and the creation of technical documentation that complies with the PPWR requirements. The official launch of the tool is scheduled for July 2026, giving companies sufficient time to prepare for the new regulations.

The tool already covers important requirements of the PPWR, including the provisions for substances in packaging (Article 5) and reusable packaging (Article 11). Optionally, tests for recyclable packaging (Article 6) and the minimum recycled content in plastic packaging (Article 7) can also be carried out. Future adjustments to the PPWR will be integrated through software updates.

Efficiency and scalability in focus

The software is designed for use by businesses of all sizes. It offers a multilingual user interface in German and English, facilitating its use beyond Europe. Packliance also offers support with data preparation, integration into existing systems such as ERP, and taking on the role of representative for producers in Germany.

The PPWR sets a clear timetable – and it's ambitious. Companies should now begin to build up their packaging data in a structured and verifiable manner. Our tool offers a practical, digital solution for this.

Philippe Blank, Managing Director of CHI, adds: „Our platform provides the technological basis for data management, evaluation logic, and document generation. Combined with the regulatory and procedural expertise of both companies, this creates a scalable approach for the industry.“

Preparation for August 2026

Companies can now register on the Packliance website to receive a no-obligation quote and prepare for the upcoming requirements. Timely preparation and implementation of the tool will be crucial to ensure PPWR compliance on time.

Packliance GmbH, a service provider for the take-back systems GVÖ, KBS, and RIGK, supports producers and manufacturers with the EU-wide implementation of the PPWR. Cyclos-HTP is a research and consulting institute that specialises in evaluating and optimising the recyclability of packaging. Together, the two companies offer a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by the new PPWR regulations.
