Tanso launches PPWR module to manage packaging compliance centrally

We're excited to introduce you to our new PPWR module. It enables companies to manage packaging data centrally, automate compliance checks, and create audit-proof declarations of conformity directly on the Tanso platform.

Why PPWR matters now

As of February 11, 2025, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is European law. The first binding deadlines apply from 12th August 2026 – and many industrial companies still face a fundamental challenge: packaging data is scattered across ERP systems, Excel spreadsheets, and PDFs. A structured process for compliance checking and documentation is missing.

Solving this in isolation creates extra effort and misses the opportunity to connect packaging data with CCF, PCF, CSRD and existing product data. Tanso takes a different approach.

What the module delivers

The PPWR module integrates packaging compliance directly into the existing Tanso platform – with three core functions:

Centralized packaging data management  

Your entire packaging portfolio including material composition, hierarchy levels down to component level, and supplier information in one place, directly connected to ERP systems.

Automated compliance checking  

Every package is automatically checked against PPWR requirements: minimization, recyclability, hazardous substances, and recycled content. Deadlines and target values are built in.

Audit-proof DoC creation  

Declarations of conformity (DoC) according to Annex VIII at the click of a button - multilingual, with full version history and document archiving.

On top of that, the proven Tanso supplier portal allows you to request material data and PPWR documentation directly from suppliers - no registration required, with automatic status tracking.

What sets the module apart

No common ERP system natively supports a PPWR-compliant packaging structure today. Tanso fills exactly this gap - with a component-based data model that helps you ensure PPWR compliance with ease.
