All 66 fields of the EU packaging DPP,
tied to PPWR articles.
Field-by-field guide to packaging passports under Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — recyclability classes A/B/C, recycled content minimums, sorting + disposal instructions, substances of concern, and the data-carrier requirements that come with all of it.
What's inside
A 17-page, print-ready PDF generated from the live TracePass platform template. Every field references its regulation article + annex, plus a source-data note (datasheet, IEC test report, SVHC declaration, PEF study, supplier declaration).
Who needs to file a packaging passport
PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) applies progressively from 2026 to:
- Packaging fillers and brand-owners who place packaged products on the EU market — primary obligation rests here.
- Packaging manufacturers selling empty packaging into the EU — must provide the upstream data.
- Importers bringing packaged goods into the EU — same primary-obligation logic as fillers.
- Reusable-packaging operators — separate set of fields covering reuse cycles + return-system data.
Why we wrote this
TracePass is an AI-powered platform that generates Digital Product Passports for EU manufacturers. We see, every week, the same field-by-field gap-analysis exercise repeated across teams. This guide is the cheat sheet — a single PDF you can hand to the team and start work from. Use it to plan, even if you never become a TracePass customer.
