PPWR — Regulation (EU) 2025/40

Packaging Digital Product Passport software for the PPWR

The EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) ties recyclability, recycled content and labelling to a digital carrier. dpp.gs gives each packaging item a GS1 passport with material composition, recyclability class, mono-material flag and PFAS data — the data a QR-linked packaging passport needs to carry.

What the PPWR requires

The PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) entered into force in early 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026. It sets recyclability performance grades for all packaging, recycled-content targets for plastic packaging, restrictions on substances of concern (notably PFAS in food-contact packaging), and harmonised labelling that increasingly relies on a QR code or other data carrier for material and sorting information.

dpp.gs models PPWR Article 12 material composition, a recyclability class, the mono-material flag and PFAS measurement — so the same passport serves consumer sorting guidance and producer-responsibility reporting.

What dpp.gs gives you for packaging

Material composition

Structured per-material breakdown (PPWR Art. 12), with weights and polymer identification.

Recyclability class

A recyclability performance grade aligned with the PPWR design-for-recycling grades.

Mono-material flag

Flag mono-material packaging — the easiest-to-recycle and increasingly favoured format.

PFAS measurement

Record PFAS content for food-contact packaging against the PPWR restriction.

EPR-ready export

Export to generic CSV/JSON plus Asekol and MŽP SR formats for producer-responsibility reporting.

GS1 QR sorting link

A GS1 Digital Link QR that gives consumers sorting guidance and systems the full material data.

Live packaging passport

A beverage packaging passport with material composition, recyclability class and recycling guidance behind a single QR.

One carrier, two jobs: the same passport that tells a consumer how to sort the pack also feeds your EPR reporting — dpp.gs exports packaging data to Asekol and national producer-register formats.

Frequently asked questions

When does the PPWR apply?

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 entered into force in 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026, with several labelling and recyclability provisions phased in over the following years.

Does the PPWR require a digital product passport?

The PPWR mandates harmonised labelling and recyclability information, increasingly delivered via a QR code or data carrier. dpp.gs provides a GS1 Digital Link passport that carries the material composition, recyclability class and sorting guidance the PPWR expects.

How is PFAS handled?

dpp.gs lets you record PFAS measurement for food-contact packaging, supporting the PPWR restriction on PFAS above defined thresholds in food-contact packaging.

Can I use the same passport for EPR reporting?

Yes. Packaging passport data exports to generic CSV/JSON and to scheme formats such as Asekol and the Slovak MŽP register, so one record serves both consumer labelling and producer-responsibility reporting.
