Coolset now supports PPWR compliance

Packaging compliance just got more manageable. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is coming into force across the EU, and for many companies it means navigating a complex mix of recycled content targets, packaging minimization requirements, and labeling obligations, all on top of existing reporting workloads.

That's why Coolset has built PPWR compliance directly into the platform. Starting today, companies can use Coolset to map their packaging portfolio, identify compliance gaps, take the right remediation steps, and generate the documentation they need, before deadlines hit.

What PPWR requires from companies

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation introduces concrete, enforceable obligations for companies placing packaged goods on the EU market. These include recycled content targets, mandatory labeling, packaging minimization requirements, and Declarations of Conformity.

Unlike purely reporting-oriented frameworks, PPWR ties compliance directly to product. A packaging type that doesn't meet the regulation's requirements cannot legally be placed on the EU market. For teams already managing the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), EU Taxonomy, or supply chain due diligence obligations, the added layer is significant.

How the Coolset PPWR module works

Coolset guides teams through every step of the PPWR compliance process. The module is structured to reduce ambiguity: companies know exactly what the regulation requires, where their current packaging falls short, and what to do next.

With the PPWR module, companies can:

• Map their entire packaging portfolio and identify which items fall within the scope of PPWR
• Request relevant data from suppliers through supplier workspaces and guided onboarding 
• Automatically assess gaps against PPWR packaging requirements
• Generate Declarations of Conformity and supporting documentation with full traceability
• Meet labeling obligations and keep packaging information accurate and audit-ready

Built for compliance, sustainability, and supply chain teams working together

PPWR compliance cuts across functions. Sustainability managers, legal teams, product owners, and procurement all have a role to play. Coolset brings those teams into a single, structured workflow, so nothing gets missed and everyone is working from the same data.

The module also connects to Coolset's broader compliance capabilities. Companies already using Coolset for CSRD, EUDR, or EU Taxonomy reporting can extend that work to cover PPWR without building new processes from scratch.

PPWR introduces concrete, enforceable requirements, not just reporting targets, and companies need to be ready well before the deadlines arrive. With our PPWR module, we guide teams through exactly what applies to their packaging, where the gaps are, and what steps to take to get compliant.
