Packaging cases span several steps: facts may be missing, supplier records arrive later, country questions run in parallel and evidence must remain connected to the case.

From separate records to a traceable workflow
What this product helps you do
The Navigator tracks the case ID, next actions, evidence and reassessment. Save and resume your work and compile a documented PPWR case file.
A guided case workflow
The Navigator shows the current case and next open tasks. Missing information blocks closure where that information is required.
Document evidence for the case
Select local files and reference them by evidence ID, filename, filing location and review status. Original files remain local.
Create the case file and resume work later
Save the working status as JSON, resume the case later and generate the documented file as PDF. The Cockpit is optional for multiple cases and long-term tracking.
Implement more efficiently
A prepared structure for your own implementation
The Navigator, role and country logic, supplier and EPR work tools and evidence structure provide a prepared working system for your packaging cases.
Reduce preparation effort
Prepared processes, work tools and evidence structures help reduce internal research and setup effort.
Use your internal expertise
Use your team's existing expertise within a structured working process.
Bring in specialist expertise where needed
Individual legal, technical and specialist questions remain with the responsible functions. External support can focus on the points that require an individual review or decision.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before purchase
Key questions about use, scope and boundaries.
Does the Practice Kit replace legal or conformity advice?+
No. It structures the work and documentation but does not replace legal advice, laboratory testing or individual conformity confirmation.
Can I use individual work tools independently?+
Yes. Use individual work tools for defined tasks. Required role, country and overall case assessments still apply.
Which country packs are included?+
Country packs cover DE, AT, FR, NL, BE, PL and CZ. Review the current position separately for other countries.
Do we need technical documentation as a PPWR manufacturer?+
Where your organisation is the manufacturer for the packaging under the PPWR, Article 15 together with Article 38 and Annex VII addresses conformity assessment and technical documentation. The kit supplies review and documentation tools; assess the role and requirements for your case.
When is an EU declaration of conformity relevant for packaging?+
Article 39 PPWR addresses the manufacturer's EU declaration following demonstrated conformity; Annex VIII supplies the model structure. The editable template does not replace the conformity assessment or responsible manufacturer decision.
Which information should we request from the packaging supplier?+
Article 16 PPWR addresses the information and records needed by the manufacturer for conformity evidence. Use the Supplier Evidence Request to obtain product-specific records, assign them to the correct packaging version and identify missing or inconsistent information.
