New European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation: Digital Tool for Declarations of Conformity
The companies PACKLIANCE GmbH and cyclos-HTP GmbH (CHI) will jointly launch a digital tool for preparing the declaration of conformity required under Article 39 PPWR. As reported, the solution enables companies to organize relevant packaging data in a structured manner and use it to generate both the technical documentation and the declaration of conformity in line with PPWR requirements. The go-live is scheduled for July 2026.
“With the 12 August 2026 deadline approaching, the pressure on producers of packaged products and packaging is increasing significantly,” the information said. “From that date, among other obligations, companies will be required to carry out a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 38 PPWR and to issue the corresponding declaration of conformity in accordance with Article 39 PPWR. This requires a complete, robust and audit-proof data basis – ranging from master packaging data and material and component information through to the relevant supporting evidence.” As underlined, the new tool would help companies implement these requirements efficiently. “It provides a structured workflow for data capture, validation and regulatory assessment, while enabling the automated generation of the required documents.” According to the press release, companies of all sizes can use the software independently. “It has been designed to help structure packaging portfolios in a sustainable, organized and audit-ready manner, enabling businesses to meet declaration of conformity requirements in a future-proof way.” The multilingual application (German/English) would also provide a basis for use beyond Europe.
Where required, PACKLIANCE is pleased to support customers with
- preparatory data structuring for use of the tool
- automated integration into existing infrastructure, such as ERP systems
- acting as the authorised representative for the producer in Germany.
