What changes will the PPWR bring to packaging reporting?

When the European Packaging Regulation (PPWR) takes effect on August 12, existing national requirements will not be replaced, but rather expanded and standardized across Europe.

For your company, this means:

You must continue to report your packaging in Germany to the central reporting office LUCID and the dual systems.
International reporting requirements are becoming increasingly important, as packaging must also be reported in EU member states.
In addition, the requirements for data quality, structure, and traceability are increasing.

The challenge lies less in the reporting requirement itself than in its operational implementation. This is because many companies currently rely on manual analyses, disparate data sources, and Excel-based stopgap solutions. However, as requirements and reporting volumes increase, these approaches are increasingly reaching their limits. The result is a growing administrative burden coupled with mounting uncertainty.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How will the PPWR affect packaging reporting?

The existing reporting requirements remain in place, but are being expanded and standardized across Europe under the PPWR. In the future, companies must be able to collect their packaging data in a more structured manner and analyze it in greater detail.

Do I still need to report my packaging to LUCID and dual systems?

Yes. The obligation to report to central authorities such as LUCID and to dual systems remains in effect. The PPWR supplements these requirements at the European level but does not replace them.

Why does the PPWR make packaging reporting more time-consuming?

The demands for data quality, traceability, and depth of detail are increasing. Companies need a consistent, system-supported database to meet these requirements efficiently.

Which types of packaging are subject to reporting requirements under the PPWR?

In general, the PPWR applies to all packaging placed on the market in the EU that later becomes waste—regardless of whether it is sales, shipping, or service packaging.

How exactly does Lizentro help me meet these requirements?

lizentro ensures that packaging data is captured and processed in a structured manner directly within your ERP system. This creates a solid foundation for all current reporting requirements and future needs. The PPWR imposes stricter requirements on packaging data—particularly regarding structure, completeness, and analyzability. lizentro helps you implement these requirements in your day-to-day operations:

– Structured data capture directly in your Business Central system instead of downstream processing
– Transparency across all packaging flows in your company
– Consistent data foundation for reports to central authorities and dual systems
– Preparation for expanded reporting obligations

While the PPWR does not require completely new processes, it does require robust and consistent data structures. This is exactly where lizentro comes in.
