Become a partnerAutomatically collect packaging data for PPWR compliance
Set up master data management, identify roles and obligations, capture packaging data, and then request, create, and send declarations of conformity: this is how PPWR compliance works with VERSO – automated and standardized in one central place. For an end-to-end process that moves your supply chain management forward holistically.
Core PPWR challenge: packaging data from the supply chain
The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) will be rolled out gradually starting in August 2026. For affected companies – especially procurement teams – information, documentation, and verification obligations across the supply chain will initially take center stage. This creates particular challenges for distributors, importers, and producers:
- How do I set up efficient master data management for packaging so I can derive roles and obligations from it?
- How do I avoid manual one-off requests, follow-up questions, and data gaps with my suppliers?
- How do I make sure technical documentation and declarations of conformity are comparable and complete?
- And how do I build processes that can be used not only for PPWR, but also for additional requirements?
The answer to these questions is automated requests and processes with PPWR software: This allows you to easily collect reliable data from your supply chain and make it usable for PPWR.
Thanks to the VERSO Supply Chain Hub, we were able to onboard nearly all of our suppliers in a very short time and now have a meaningful risk analysis in place. The transparency gained across the supply chain provides a solid foundation for long-term partnerships and sustainable action.
All packaging data in one place
Set up master data management efficiently and in a structured way
The right starting point begins with structure: packaging data first needs to be captured completely and meaningfully, consolidated, and organized. Only then does it become clear which information is still missing for PPWR compliance. With PPWR software, you can set up your master data management in an automated, clear, and efficient way:
- Upload products (SKUs) and packaging components via bulk upload or interface
- Simple clustering by packaging units
- Automatic validation and gap analysis of packaging data for compliance
- All packaging data in one place – structured, comparable, and reusable
For a clear view of your packaging data.
What applies to producers, importers, distributors, suppliers, and manufacturers
Clearly classify your PPWR roles and obligations
Whether you qualify as a producer, importer, distributor, supplier, or manufacturer under the PPWR, which obligations result from that role, and whether you also fall under extended producer responsibility is often not immediately clear. With our PPWR solution, you can classify all of this in a structured way, derive requirements for each packaging item in a targeted manner, and create the basis for PPWR compliance:
- Automatic identification of roles and obligations for each SKU / packaging item
- Certificate and action management for centralized creation and documentation of actions
- Easily request supplier applicability and level of preparedness, gain an overview, and raise supplier awareness
For a clear overview of your roles and obligations.
Close gaps and complete packaging data
Capture missing packaging data efficiently
When packaging data is missing, manual effort quickly increases for everyone involved. With us, you can launch supplier requests automatically, keep track of responses, and give your suppliers the support they need for fast and accurate data collection through an easy-to-use platform with knowledge resources and support:
- Automated supplier requests for missing packaging data with integrated reminders
- Free platform access for suppliers
- Intuitive capture of packaging data or specifications for suppliers
- Comprehensive knowledge base and helpdesk to support suppliers and reduce the workload on your team
- Structured preparation and export options for external sharing
For complete data and smooth collaboration.
Manage declarations of conformity and technical documentation efficiently
Request, create, and send multilingual declarations of conformity
Declarations of conformity and technical documentation should not have to be set up for every single piece of packaging. With us, you can create them automatically, use references for packaging within the same cluster, and easily share the relevant information via the Supply Chain Hub, by CSV, or by API:
- Automated supplier requests for missing packaging data with integrated reminders
- Automatic creation of the declaration of conformity
- Automatic referencing for all packaging within the same cluster
- Easy sharing with customers via the Supply Chain Hub, by CSV export, or through API
For declarations of conformity without manual effort.
Additional process advisory support from our experts
Expert guidance through PPWR implementation
Like many EU regulations, the PPWR is complex when it comes to interpretation and implementation. Roles may overlap, not all delegated acts have been finalized yet, and specific requirements vary depending on company size, product portfolio, and position within the supply chain.
In situations like these, accompanying process advisory support has proven effective. We are happy to support affected companies, including with:
- Classification of roles and obligations: Clear understanding of which responsibilities are relevant for your organization.
- Structuring PPWR preparation: Focused prioritization instead of parallel, isolated actions.
- Integration into existing processes: Alignment with established supply chain, data, and compliance structures.
