Want to ensure your packaging is compliant to PPWR? Let us scan your packaging. We know what guidelines to use and what to look for!
Although the final PPWR guidelines aren't set in stone yet, there is so much you can (and frankly should) do in order to minimise risk and maintain market eccess. Let's us help you to give you the most accurate assessment possible!
A portfolio-wide gap analysis that scores every SKU against PPWR Articles 5 (sustainability requirements) and 6 (recyclability classes A/B/C), and against the in-market EPR scheme rules in Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The output is a ranked risk list — which SKUs miss which obligations, in which markets, by which 2026/2028 milestone — with a remediation plan and a budget estimate. CIRCPACK experts cross-check the recyclability assumptions against thye operational truth iof recycling infrastructure around the world.
It is only four steps from the portfolio intake to a remediation plan. It typically takes about 6 weeks to assess a 200–800 SKU portfolio.
You share pack formats, specs, volumes and target markets. We map each SKU to the EPR schemes and PPWR articles that apply.
Each pack is scored against PPWR sustainability requirements and the A/B/C recyclability classes. Where the spec is ambiguous, we flag the test needed to resolve it.
Per market: fee bands, eco-modulation eligibility, labelling rules, recycled-content thresholds. The Recycling Intelligence Platform feeds the live legislation behind each entry.
A ranked SKU-by-SKU action list with effort estimate, expected EPR-fee impact and a recommended sequence aligned to the PPWR milestones.

Six weeks for a typical 200–800 SKU portfolio across 5–7 EU markets. Larger portfolios extend the timeline proportionally; smaller scans (one market, under 100 SKUs) complete in three weeks.
Germany (VerpackG), France (CITEO), the UK (extended producer responsibility for packaging), Italy (CONAI), Spain (Ecoembes/Ecovidrio), Belgium (Fost Plus/Val-I-Pac) and the Netherlands (Verpact). Other markets are available on request — the Recycling Intelligence Platform covers 71 countries.
Yes. CIRCPACK is an accredited certifying body for RecyClass (plastics) and RECY:CHECK (beverage cartons), and operates the proprietary CERTIFY scheme for glass, metals, paper and cardboard. The gap analysis flags which SKUs need certification next; you can run those engagements with us or with another accredited body.
The PPWR gap analysis is a fixed-scope, fixed-output product focused on Articles 5 and 6 and the in-market EPR rules. A broader consulting engagement adds multi-pillar work — Green Claims readiness, B-Corp evidence, portfolio-wide design programmes. Most clients start here and expand into consulting where the gap analysis surfaces a wider need.
