FAQ

How can the Compliance Gate Platform help us with the PPWR process?

The platform can be used in the following ways in relation to the PPWR:

1. Create requirements lists, including PPWR and other EU regulations and directives

2. Use the project modules to break down key steps of the PPWR process (based on Article 15)

3. Use the PPWR Declaration of Conformity template

4. Use the PPWR Technical Documentation template

5. Book substance and other packaging testing

6. Track new versions of the PPWR and set up email alerts

7. Search third-party packaging service providers:

  • Producer responsibility organisations (PROs)
  • Authorised representatives for extended producer responsibility

Plus, you can contact our support team if you have any questions about the PPWR.

Why do I need to track new versions of the PPWR?

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 is expected to be amended in the future, which will result in new consolidated versions. This can result in new or updated requirements related to labelling, documentation, packaging design, or other aspects.

We check EUR Lex on a monthly basis to identify new consolidated versions. When a new version is found, we log it in the LexDatabase.

You can also set up email alerts, which trigger email notifications after we have logged a new version of the PPWR (or other regulations and directives).

Why should I use the platform instead of managing the PPWR process by myself?

The PPWR is available on EUR Lex and can be read at no cost. You are not required to use the Compliance Gate Platform or other software tools to comply with the PPWR.

However, the Compliance Gate Platform does provide you with a toolbox that can simplify important steps of the PPWR process.

Does the platform cover the entire PPWR process?

No, the Compliance Gate Platform does not cover every single requirement or provide a pathway to comply with all requirements under the PPWR.

For example, the PPWR requires that packaging is designed based on certain principles.

Do you act as an authorised representative for extended producer responsibility?

We do not act as an EU AR for EPR. That said, you can find companies providing such solutions via the service page.
