Packaging data for packaged products
For brands and packers that need reliable data about every packaging component from their packaging suppliers.
- Legal basis
- Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40
- Status
- Applies since 12 August 2026, with labelling and data-carrier rules following later. The regulation does not introduce a product passport for packaging as such; it creates information and labelling duties.
- Platform
- Configured per project
Challenge
The challenge: data duties without a passport
The packaging regulation asks companies to know their packaging in detail: materials per component, recyclability, recycled content in plastic parts, substances and, later, harmonised labels that may be supported by a data carrier.
A company that sells packaged goods often has more packaging items than products. The data sits with converters and printers. We do not call this a passport, because the law does not. The task, however, is the one the platform was built for: collect structured data from suppliers, review it and keep it per item.
Functions
How the platform supports packaging data
- A packaging field set, configured with you
- Fields per packaging component: material, weight, recycled content, recyclability and sorting information.
- Requests to converters
- Each packaging supplier answers for their components through a link, without an account.
- Review before use
- Packaging development approves the data or returns it with a change request.
- Optional public page
- Where you want to inform consumers, a page and a QR code can be published per item.
Process
Use case: a consumer-goods brand
A brand with 300 packaged products wants complete data per packaging component.
Model the packaging
We agree how primary, secondary and transport packaging are recorded.
Start with one category
Records are created for one product category and requests go to its packaging suppliers.
Check and complete
Answers are reviewed; gaps are visible per item and per supplier.
Roll out
Further categories follow with the same field set.
Data
Typical data
- Packaging component and type
- Material and weight
- Recycled content
- Recyclability
- Substances of concern
- Sorting and reuse information
Benefits
What you gain
- Packaging data per component in one place
- A documented answer from every packaging supplier
- A basis for labelling decisions when the rules become concrete
- Less dependence on individual spreadsheets
The platform does not assess recyclability, calculate fees or submit reports to producer-responsibility schemes. It stores the data those tasks need.
