Digital PPWR tool aims to prepare businesses for new EU regulations
25 May 2026
With the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the requirements for packaging and its documentation are increasing. PACKLIANCE GmbH and cyclos-HTP GmbH (CHI) are therefore jointly developing a digital tool designed to support companies in drawing up declarations of conformity and managing relevant packaging data. The market launch is planned for July 2026.

- PACKLIANCE and CHI are developing a digital PPWR tool.
- The software supports companies with recyclability, the use of recycled materials and regulatory documentation in accordance with EU requirements.
- The ‘ ’ go-live is scheduled for July 2026; companies can register now.
New PPWR obligations from August 2026
From 12 August 2026, new obligations will come into force for many companies in the packaging and plastics industry. These include, amongst other things, conformity assessment procedures in accordance with Article 38 of the PPWR and declarations of conformity in accordance with Article 39 of the PPWR. This increases the need for structured, traceable and audit-proof packaging data.
Digital tool for declarations of conformity and packaging data
Against this backdrop, PACKLIANCE and CHI are working on a digital solution for PPWR compliance. The tool is designed to support companies in creating technical documentation and declarations of conformity based on centrally recorded packaging data. Among other things, it takes into account:
- Packaging master data
- Material and component information
- Evidence of recyclability
- Documentation on the use of recycled materials
According to the company, the software handles data collection, validation and regulatory assessment, and is designed to automatically generate the required documents from this information.
“Companies should start now to organise their packaging data in a structured and verifiable manner. Our tool offers a practical, digital solution for this,” says Jan Bauer, Managing Director of PACKLIANCE GmbH.
The tool covers the following PPWR requirements
Initially, functions are planned for the following areas:
- Article 5 PPWR: Requirements for substances in packaging
- Article 11 of the PPWR: Reusable packaging
Optionally, checks against the following requirements will also be possible:
- Article 6 of the PPWR: Recyclable packaging
- Article 7 of the PPWR: Minimum recycled content in plastic packaging
The companies intend to gradually incorporate further requirements of the PPWR as soon as additional delegated acts from the European Union become available.
According to CHI, the platform combines data management, , assessment logic and , and document generation. “With our platform, we provide the technological basis for data management, assessment logic and document generation. Combined with the regulatory and procedural expertise of both companies, this creates a scalable approach for the industry,” explains Philippe Blank, Managing Director of CHI.
Multilingual platform for businesses of all sizes
The application is to be available in German and English and, according to the provider, is suitable for companies of various sizes. Furthermore, interfaces with existing systems such as ERP solutions are planned.
PACKLIANCE also offers additional support, for example with:
- preparatory data processing
- integration with existing IT infrastructures
- acting as an authorised representative for producers in Germany
