With the next wave of ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฅ) deadlines hitting, weโre seeing a lot of manufacturers focus on the ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐:
๐ What chemicals are in this ink?
๐ What is the exact recycled content of this cardboard?
๐ What data do we need to prove compliance?
The regulation does a great job of giving you a shopping list of data points to collect. ๐ But it doesnโt make it clear ๐ต๐ผ๐ youโre supposed to manage, store, and share all that information.
Thatโs where another important piece of legislation comes into the picture: ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐. Now, to be clear: ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ค๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ. You could absolutely try to manage all those supplier declarations in a bunch of folders. But why make life harder than it needs to be? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Think of the ๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ that defines which packaging data must be available and shared, while ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐. A Digital Product Passport is like a secure digital identity card for your packaging. It keeps everything organised, verifiable, and ready to share with clients or auditors at the push of a button.
Thatโs why ESG regulations like the PPWR donโt just mean more paperwork. Youโll need a smart data structure to meet all their demands. Looking to build a data foundation to help with your compliance? Send us a message!
