Für Verpackungsdrucker und Label-Konverter
PPWR rewires the brand-printer relationship. The converters that hand a brand a clean Declaration of Conformity within 48 hours win the next tender. PPWR Connect is the operational layer for that capability — across flexible film, folding carton, labels, tubes, lidding, IML, beverage cartons, multiwall sacks, transport, metal and glass.
Brand owners are pulling forward their PPWR readiness. The pressure lands on you in four predictable forms.
Article 39
Jede Verpackungseinheit, die Ihr Kunde verkauft, braucht seit dem 12. August 2026 eine Konformitätserklärung. Die technischen Nachweise — Materialzusammensetzung, Recyclingfähigkeit, Rezyklatanteil, Konformität bei besorgniserregenden Stoffen — liegen bei Ihnen, nicht bei ihm. Ihre Reaktionsfähigkeit wird zu seiner Compliance-Geschwindigkeit.
Article 6 / Annex II
Verpackungen unterhalb der Schwelle von Grad C sind ab 2030 verboten; nach 2038 bleiben nur die Grade A und B. Gemischte Laminate, EVOH-Schichten, Aluminiumbeutel und metallisierte Folien wechseln zu Mono-PE / Mono-PP oder verschwinden vom Markt. Die Umstellungskosten tragen Sie.
Annex II essentials
Under Annex II's design-for-recycling criteria, ink coverage, deinkability test results, varnish chemistry, MOSH/MOAH migration limits and PFAS-free greaseproof claims now live in your DoC contribution. Substantiating them is no longer optional.
Article 5 + Article 7
PFAS in food-contact applications, BPA in metal lacquers, recycled-content thresholds (PET 30% in 2030 → 50% in 2040; other plastic 35% → 65%) — all of these touch your supplier qualification, your line settings and your purchasing decisions, with audit obligations that flow upstream from your customers.
16 deep-dive guides — one per converter category. Each covers the specific design constraints, the deadlines that bite first, and the supplier-qualification questions to surface in the next negotiation.
What you get with PPWR Connect

Receive brand-owner DoC requests, attach the technical evidence (recyclability test, material composition, ink coverage), sign and ship — audit-ready, version-controlled, no email round-trips.
Recyclability matrix per SKU
Run every reference against Annex II. See immediately which lines are below Grade C and what design moves recover the points before 2030.
Audit-ready evidence trail
Every assessment, every supplier statement, every ink/varnish substantiation timestamped and linked to its source. When a market surveillance authority asks, you export in one click.
EPR clarity across 27 markets
If you ship to multiple member states, EPR registrations and reporting obligations vary by country. The EPR matrix tells you which schemes apply to your output and what's due when.
