Manufacturer, importer, distributor or producer: the same box carries different duties depending on your role and market. Regtrue resolves the role per packaging system and shows only the obligations that are actually yours: recyclability, recycled content, reuse, substances of concern, minimisation, labelling, conformity documentation and per-market EPR.
Product → packaging → components → material layers. You bought the part. Not the packaging. But when someone asks what that packaging is made of, it's your name on the answer. Bought packed and never told what's inside? Here that's a tracked situation with a supplier request attached, not a blank cell someone hopes nobody notices.
You do not type four thousand items in by hand. Regtrue imports from your ERP and from spreadsheets, matches what arrives against packaging already in the register, and keeps the origin of every value visible: supplier declared, physically observed, buyer declared or category default. The register scales with the portfolio, not with the size of your team.

One request per supplier, not forty emails. They answer through a secure link, in plain language, nothing to install. Every open gap stays visible: what's missing, who owes it, and when the last send didn't arrive. Files land attached to the packaging they actually cover.
When the answer is not theirs to give, your supplier passes the question to their own supplier without seeing what the others answered, and you keep one view of where the request actually sits. The chain can be longer than one hop. Your visibility does not have to stop at the first one.
PPWR is not one requirement. Each packaging system is measured against the families below, and each family needs a different fact from a different party. Regtrue holds the requirement, the evidence it needs and the party who owes it in one place.
| REQUIREMENT | WHAT IT NEEDS BEHIND IT |
|---|---|
| Recyclability Art. 6 | Material and layer composition per component, down to what actually separates in sorting. |
| Recycled content Art. 7 | Verified recycled share for plastic parts, traceable to the supplier who claims it. |
| Reuse and refill | Which packaging is a reusable asset, the system it rotates in, and the counting behind it. |
| Substances of concern Art. 5 | Declarations covering restricted substances, including PFAS and heavy-metal limits. |
| Minimisation | Dimensions and empty space, not weight alone. |
| Labelling Art. 12 | Material composition marking, generated from the same record as the declaration. |
| Conformity assessment Annex VII | The technical documentation that proves every requirement is met. |
Each packaging system is evaluated against PPWR's actual requirements. Three outcomes exist here, not two: assessable, partially assessable, and cannot assess, with the reason named. Ready is never confused with compliant.
When a supplier updates their data, a new version is created. The old one stays untouched and viewable, along with the assessment made on it. Years later you can still show what you knew, based on which documents, at which time.

| INTEGRITY | VERIFIED |
Everything above exists to produce these. They are not five separate projects with five separate spreadsheets: they are five views of the same verified packaging record, and each one carries its evidence with it.
| OUTPUT | WHAT IT IS |
|---|---|
| Declaration of Conformity Annex VIII · Art. 39 | Generated from a completed assessment. It will not issue while blockers remain. Governance profiles can separate assessment, approval and signing roles, with those controls enforced in the workflow. |
| Technical documentation Annex VII | The file behind the declaration, assembled section by section as the evidence arrives. |
| Customer proof | When a buyer asks what your packaging is made of, the answer comes out of the record instead of being rebuilt by email. |
| Markets and quantities EPR | Weights carried from component level up, multiplied by what you actually place on each market. Tonnage per country, per material, in the format each national scheme expects. |
| Audit pack | The whole chain in one export: what was decided, on which evidence, at which version, at what time. |
Dates verified against Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on EUR-Lex, with citations. Full PPWR & EUDR date register →
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste. It applies to all packaging placed on the EU market and has been in force since 12 August 2026.
Responsibility follows role: manufacturers, importers, distributors and fulfilment providers each carry obligations for the packaging they place on the market. Regtrue starts by determining yours.
The Annex VIII declaration that packaging meets PPWR requirements, backed by technical documentation. Regtrue assembles the declaration and the technical documentation from one verified packaging record.
Harmonised labelling from 12 August 2028 at the earliest, design-for-recycling grading and first recycled-content targets from 1 January 2030 at the earliest. Each is tied to the delegated or implementing acts, so the date is a floor.
No. Reuse and refill, substances of concern including PFAS, packaging minimisation and labelling all carry their own obligations. Regtrue assesses the whole set, because a packaging system can pass one family and fail another.
Yes. Per-market quantities are derived from component-level weights and what you place on each market, then prepared in the format each national scheme expects. Each market is supported as its national scheme allows, with direct submission where the register is open to it.
