Stop spending weeks on manual compliance documentation. PPWR Copilot prepares recycling icons, material codes, void-space calculations, and country-specific requirements for all 27 EU member states.
PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) applies from 12 August 2026 (phased). The EU harmonised packaging label (Article 12) applies from 12 August 2028 or 24 months after the Commission implementing acts enter into force (whichever is later).
PPWR Article 12 sets an EU harmonised label framework, with detailed design specifications set by Commission implementing acts. National rules continue to apply until then.
PPWR Article 24 limits empty space in packaging to 50% maximum for e-commerce, grouped, and transport packaging effective from 2030.
PPWR Annex II establishes official recyclability performance grades. PPWR Copilot uses internal tiers (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) to help assess 2030 readiness. Packaging below 70% recyclability may face restrictions from 2030.
Three simple steps to prepare structured documentation for your packaging configuration to support review.
Input your box dimensions, material composition, and select your target EU markets. Supports cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, and composite materials.
Our software calculates void-space ratios, selects correct material codes per Decision 97/129/EC, and generates country-specific recycling symbols.
Receive a professional PDF report to share with suppliers, retailers, and reviewers. Includes market-specific marking references for the countries you select, for review before artwork sign-off.
French AGEC law requires Triman and Info-Tri sorting signage on household packaging placed on the French consumer market, not on all packaging; industrial/commercial (B2B) packaging is treated differently. Our software generates pictograms based on your packaging type (bottle, jar, box, pouch, tube, carton) with bin colours for review before artwork sign-off.
Learn about France Info-Tri →Italian DLgs 152/2006 requires specific disposal text in Italian on all packaging. Our software adds prominent disposal boxes with correct instructions per material type (e.g., "Raccolta Plastica").
Royal Decree 1055/2022 (Art. 13) requires household packaging to indicate the fraction/container it should be deposited into: the information, not a fixed colour-coded symbol. Our software prepares fraction indications (e.g. yellow/plastics, blue/paper, green/glass, brown/organic) to review before artwork sign-off. Applies from 1 January 2025.
PPWR Copilot treats Portuguese sorting/disposal guidance as source notes and common ecoponto guidance unless a packaging-type-specific obligation is confirmed. Our software adds styled disposal boxes with ecoponto references for each material type; confirm final obligations by packaging type, route to market and EPR/PRO arrangement.
Included on every plan: evidence register per dossier and PET bottle recycled content tracker.
All material identification codes per EU Decision 97/129/EC, including composites per Annex VII.
