01 · How she reasons

Evalda's logic.

No magic. Regulation × your SKU data × priority order.

How it works

You upload an SKU. Evalda reads the PPWR for you. She tells you what to change, in what order, with which regulation article.

02 · What she does

Before. During. After.

Before the decision: you know where you stand. During: you have someone who answers. After: you know what to change, and in what order.

03 · The regulation

Compliant. Non-compliant.

Five markers that raise your packaging compliance. Five that sink it.

+
PPWR compliant
  • Materials with recyclability ≥ 70% (Art. 6 PPWR).
  • EPR eco-modulation computed and declared per component.
  • Recycled content quantified and tracked per material family.
  • Labelling data structured per Article 12, ready for the harmonised label.
  • Technical Documentation + Declaration of Conformity scaffoldable from supplier data.
Non-compliant · at risk
  • Multi-material packaging not hand-separable (Art. 6 PPWR).
  • Recycled content declared on totals instead of per material.
  • Formats restricted from 2030 (Annex V): collation films, hotel miniatures, produce packs under 1.5 kg.
  • Labels in materials incompatible with the main substrate.
  • Void ratio above 50% in grouped, transport and e-commerce packaging (Art. 24, from 2030).
04 · Relevant articles

Five articles. Three critical.

Suggested order. The first three decide if your SKU is in compliance. The last two require supplier evidence.

Art. 6
Recyclability requirements
Progressive thresholds 2030/2035/2040. It's the first filter: if you don't pass here, no other article matters.
Critical
Art. 7
Minimum recycled content
Mandatory percentages per material family. EPR schemes use these numbers for eco-modulation.
Critical
Art. 21
Packaging minimisation
Void-to-content ratio, over-packaging, nominal sizes. Hits transport costs as much as compliance.
Critical
Art. 12
Marking and labelling
Symbols, recyclability indications, material code. To be checked against the current line graphics.
Review
Art. 19
Return and refill systems
Applies to specific categories only. Check whether your SKU falls under.

06 · Decision intelligence

What makes your packaging more — or less — compliant.

Seven concrete moves, each with why it matters: missing evidence, material choices, upcoming requirements, priorities. This is what Evalda flags on your portfolio.

Raises compliance

4 moves
  • Replace multi-material substrates with mono-material ≥ PE/PP/PET.
    Unlocks Art. 6 and lowers the EPR contribution of the component.
  • Add recycled content tracked per material.
    Answers Art. 7 and the progressive 2026 EPR eco-modulation.
  • Structure labelling data per Article 12.
    The EU harmonised label lands 24 months after the pending implementing act; national labelling rules apply meanwhile — ready data means no rework.
  • Document suppliers with technical sheet + DoC.
    Makes the SKU scaffoldable into a Compliance Dossier without extra calls.

Lowers compliance

3 errors
  • Declaring recycled content on the total, not per material.
    Inadmissible for Art. 7 and EPR. Data must always go per family.
  • Multi-material glued, not hand-separable.
    Directly blocks Art. 6 and penalises EPR contribution on the whole pack.
  • PVC labels on PET containers.
    Compromises PET recyclability — penalised by the design-for-recycling direction of Article 6 and by EPR eco-modulation.

What Evalda is grounded on.
