All 66 fields of the EU packaging DPP,
tied to PPWR articles.
Packaging recyclability grading applies from August 2026 and the full packaging Digital Product Passport from 2030 under PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40). This guide maps the 66 fields — recyclability classes A/B/C, recycled content minimums, sorting + disposal instructions, and substances of concern.
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.
