PPWR applies since 08/12/2026

The packaging data your auditor, your marketplace and Brussels will ask for.

Kraftpass keeps products, packaging components, materials, supplier evidence and sales quantities per country in one audit-proof data set. From it, it derives your obligations, generates EU declarations of conformity and prepares LUCID reports.

Ten minutes, no account required. The result can be downloaded as a PDF and used as the starting configuration of your organization.

Every status has an evidence trail: who changed what, when – with the old and the new value.

You are the "manufacturer" of packaging you only buy

Anyone who sells under their own name or brand is the manufacturer under Art. 21 PPWR – with the duty to keep an EU declaration of conformity (Art. 39, Annex VIII) and technical documentation (Art. 38, Annex VII) for every packaging unit, even though the data sits with the packaging supplier.

It is a data problem, not a legal one

Products, packaging units, components, materials, weights, evidence, expiry dates and sales quantities per country: spread over ERP, shop, supplier e-mails and spreadsheets. Kraftpass holds all of it in one structured, versioned data set.

Every destination country wants its own registration

As the producer under EPR you must be registered in every EU country you ship to – LUCID in Germany, CITEO in France, CONAI in Italy, Ecoembes in Spain. Marketplaces may not list you otherwise (Art. 45).

01 · Product

One data set, every obligation

Built by an auditor and a data engineer: precise data model, deterministic rules, complete audit trail.

Exposure check

Guided questionnaire that determines your role per packaging category and lists the obligations that apply now, from 2028 and from 2030 – including registration needs per destination country.

Packaging register

Products → packaging units → components → materials → suppliers. Reusable templates, CSV/XLSX import and export, empty-space ratio calculator for shipping packaging.

Supplier evidence

Derives the evidence each supplier owes you, sends token links without an account, tracks status, validity and versions, reminds automatically.

Declarations of conformity

Generates the EU declaration of conformity (Annex VIII) and the technical documentation (Annex VII) per packaging unit from register data and evidence – bilingual, versioned, hashed.

Quantities & reports

Sales quantities from shop and marketplace integrations become packaging quantities per material fraction and country: LUCID preview, threshold check for the completeness declaration, registration needs.

Audit export

Auditors and tax advisors join as advisors with read access and receive quantity derivation, B2B/B2C split, evidence status and audit log as XLSX and PDF working papers.

02 · Deadlines
