From 12 August 2026, packaging placed on the EU market must carry a valid PPWR Declaration of Conformity, and there is no grace period. Every packaging type needs signed documentation backed by a conformity assessment and technical evidence, retrievable on demand for market surveillance authorities across all 27 member states. For manufacturers managing hundreds or thousands of SKUs, that turns a paperwork question into an operational and financial exposure problem, where incomplete records can mean blocked market access and penalty risk. Manual spreadsheets and last-minute supplier chasing do not scale to a hard-cutover deadline. This is where continuous, audit-ready PPWR compliance matters, supported by automated supplier data collection, certificate validation, and always-current documentation. Certivo approaches this as an AI-powered compliance platform and system of record, using CORA-driven compliance intelligence to keep declarations and supporting evidence defensible.
