PPWR Consulting
Fresh perspective. Fast decisions.
4 weeks with a former Global Packaging Director. You bring the question. You leave with a documented answer.
Know where you stand. Know where to start.
We screen your portfolio against PPWR and deliver a prioritized action plan.
From plan to compliant packs.
We work alongside your team to drive PPWR compliance from roadmap to done.
“We’ve done the PPWR work — we just want a second view before we commit.”
“We don’t know where we stand — we need someone to map our exposure.”
FOR EVERYONE TOUCHING PACKAGING
If PPWR affects your work, this is for you.
Packaging Development & R&D
Packaging Regulatory & Compliance
Sustainability & ESG
Procurement & Supply Chain
Technical & Quality
Context: Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies from 12 August 2026. We’re packaging practitioners with 25+ years experience.
PPWR is clear on what. It’s not yet fully clear on how.
The regulation tells you:
• European DoC – starting already August 2026
• Restrictions on Substances of Concern – starting already August 2026
• Packaging must be recyclable
• You need minimum recycled content
• Certain formats are restricted
• Labels must be harmonized
It doesn’t tell you:
• Whether YOUR pack meets the criteria
• How to interpret grey zones for YOUR materials
• What evidence YOU need to collect
• Which packs to prioritize with 500+ SKUs
• How to get YOUR suppliers to act. And, even your Board, your coleagues.
That’s the gap we fill.
“We need a second view”
You’ve read the regulation. You’ve built a position. But:
• Regulatory sees it one way, R&D another — who’s right?
• Your supplier says “recyclable” — can you trust that?
• Some are recommending you wait until the grade A, B and C will be defined. Is that right?
• You’re presenting to leadership — are you confident?
• You want a fresh perspective before locking in the spec
→ You need an external view from someone who’s been in your shoes.
“I need to know where we stand”
You know PPWR is coming. But:
• Hundreds/Thousands of SKUs — which formats are at highest risk?
• No clear picture of portfolio exposure
• Need a business case but don’t have the data
• Aug 2026 is coming — you need a plan
→ You need a structured audit to cut through the noise.
Less searching. More deciding.
We help packaging teams turn PPWR uncertainty into decisions they can defend — with clear rationale and next steps you can share internally.

Why packaging teams choose us
1. Packaging practitioners — not just consultants
25+ years designing, launching, and changing packs. We’ve sat in your chair. We’ve managed the trade-offs: performance vs. cost, sustainability vs. line speed, compliance vs. launch date. We’ve driven packaging changes from factory floor to CEO sign-off — and delivered them. Multiple times. And, today, we are in the middle of driving key sustainability initiatives across Europe.
2. Interpretation, not just information
You don’t need more documents. You need someone who can read between the lines and tell you what it means for your pack. We translate PPWR into decisions you can act on.
3. Outputs you can use
Clear deliverables: change this pack, keep this one, monitor that one. Written rationale you can share with stakeholders, use in sign-offs, and defend in audits.
4. Independence
We don’t sell materials. We don’t sell certification. We just tell you what you need to know — with your interests in mind.
5. The knowledge platform behind it
360 Pack Mastery platform gives structure: PPWR guidance, country fact sheets, tools. Consulting adds the hands-on layer. You get both.
If after our first session you don’t feel you got value, we refund it. No questions. We’re confident in what we deliver — because we’ve done this before.
