Recyda introduces PPWR Navigator for Declarations of Conformity & Technical Documentation
Key takeaways
- Recyda has launched its PPWR Navigator to help packaging companies manage Declarations of Conformity and Technical Documentation under the PPWR.
- The platform supports portfolio analysis, gap detection, bulk documentation generation, and integration with internal systems to reduce manual compliance work.
- Recyda says the tool is designed to help companies prepare for the first PPWR deadlines in August and future recyclability requirements under Article 6.
Recyda has launched its Recyda PPWR Navigator to support packaging companies in dealing with aspects of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), namely Declarations of Conformity (DoC) and Technical Documentation (TD).
The end-to-end compliance solution allows customers to ensure their DoC and TD are fully organized, compliant, and signed in time, according to Recyda.
“Recyda’s mission has always been to lift the burden of manual compliance by empowering the packaging value chain with modern, auditable digital solutions. Developing a sophisticated and reliable platform specifically for PPWR is the logical evolution of that core purpose,” comments Christian Knobloch, co-founder and managing director at Recyda.
The digital solutions provider says packaging companies are currently facing thousands of SKUs that have to be “meticulously assessed” for Substances of Concern (Article 5 of the PPWR) and Reusability (Article 11 of the PPWT), while at the same time anticipating the upcoming post-August deadlines.
Managing such “complex packaging hierarchies” and manually producing technical documents can lead to bottlenecks, drain resources, increase audit risks, and threaten market access, Recyda warns.
“As a mature, market-ready platform, Recyda’s PPWR solution is live right now, allowing companies to immediately analyze their packaging portfolios for potential gaps towards PPWR compliance and generate essential compliance documentation at scale.”
“All-in-one” solution
Recyda described its new platform as an “all-in-one” solution that includes ready-to-use document templates created in close collaboration with packaging industry players and legal experts. The resulting DoCs and TDs can be customized to fit the specific operational and economic needs of the customer, the company adds.

Our close collaboration with industry initiatives allowed us to integrate templates in Recyda that reflect true industry consensus and legal rigor.”
The solution is said to be engineered for enterprise-grade global operations, offering:
• Data integration paths to connect with existing internal systems;
• Portfolio data analysis to automatically spot gaps, compliance risks, and missing data across thousands of SKUs;
• Bulk processing capabilities to generate and export massive quantities of documentation simultaneously.
August deadline approaches
The PPWR Navigator can further help regulatory compliance teams move away from fragmented spreadsheets to a digitalized approach, according to Recyda. “This drastically reduces administrative friction and human error.”
Jürgen Dornheim, executive industry advisor and former director for corporate packaging innovation and sustainability at Procter & Gamble, adds: “Recyda is uniquely positioned to help the industry bridge the gap between current EPR realities and the strict PPWR requirements.”
“Their PPWR Navigator provides the exact type of robust, scalable clarity that global brands require to navigate these incoming deadlines confidently.”
Recyda reminds interested parties not to wait to get started, as the Navigator is suitable for the first deadline in August. Additionally, it integrates the incoming recyclability requirements of Article 6, which will be enacted when the EU releases its secondary legislation.
Co-founder and managing director at Recyda, Vivian Loftin, says: “The Navigator doesn’t just get you past the August finish line, it establishes a single source of truth to digitally manage your global packaging compliance. Whether you are dealing with upcoming EU secondary legislation or complex regional EPR reporting rising in North America and elsewhere.”
At Interpack 2026, Loftin spoke to Packaging Insights about Recyda’s solutions for PPWR and global EPRs.
Last year, the software provider partnered with SAP to tackle PPWR data reporting challenges.
