Frequently Asked Questions

It brings benefits on many levels:

• Environmental - you know exactly where the carbon footprint is highest and where to reduce it.
• Business and strategic - the ability to optimize processes, which translates into real cost reduction.
• Image and Employer Branding - benefits in PR, marketing and attracting clients and talent.

Annual calculation and reporting of the carbon footprint simply pays off.

The carbon footprint is calculated in 3 Scopes:

• Scope 1 - direct emissions: fuel combustion, gas emissions from technological processes, company transport.
• Scope 2 - energy supplied from outside: electricity, heat, cooling.
• Scope 3 - indirect emissions in the value chain, divided into Upstream (purchased raw materials, transport, business travel, employee commuting) and Downstream (product transport, use, disposal).

Companies are required to report all three scopes.

ESG reporting obligations under CSRD were revised in 2025 as part of the Omnibus I package (the "stop-the-clock" directive):

• Wave 1 (2025 - for 2024) - large public-interest entities (>500 employees) previously subject to non-financial reporting. First reports have already been filed.
• Wave 2 (2028 - for 2027) - other large companies. Originally to report from 2026, the deadline was postponed by 2 years.
• Wave 3 (2029 - for 2028) - listed SMEs. Originally from 2027, postponed by 2 years.
• Wave 4 (2029) - non-EU enterprises with turnover >150M EUR in the EU.

In addition, Omnibus I proposed raising the scope threshold from 250 to 1000 employees - legislative work is ongoing.

Regardless of formal obligation, many companies will be asked for ESG data by contractors, banks and investors - it is worth starting to measure your carbon footprint early.

PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40. It sets requirements for packaging design, composition, recyclability, labelling, reuse and waste reduction.

PPWR entered into force on 11 February 2025. Most provisions apply from 12 August 2026, while some requirements will be introduced gradually.

PPWR applies to companies that manufacture, import, supply or distribute packaging and packaged products on the EU market.

Yes. PPWR does not provide a general exemption for small and medium-sized businesses, although some requirements include exceptions for micro-enterprises.

PPWR covers all packaging, regardless of material, including sales, grouped, transport, e-commerce and service packaging.

The EU Declaration of Conformity, or DoC, confirms that packaging meets the applicable PPWR requirements. It must follow the structure in Annex VIII and be kept up to date.

Companies must identify their PPWR role, collect packaging data, verify compliance and provide the required labelling, technical documentation and declarations of conformity.

The Declaration of Conformity is issued by the manufacturer as defined by PPWR. This may include a company that has packaging or a packaged product manufactured under its own name or trademark.

It guides you through the entire compliance process for Regulation 2025/40 — from modelling packaging (component → type → product), through Article 5 validation, to automatic generation of the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and Technical Documentation (TD).

Yes. Based on your packaging data, the system produces ready-to-use DoCs (basis: Article 39) and TD in PDF and DOCX format. Documents are generated per packaging type.

The engine automatically checks packaging against PFAS thresholds (25/250 ppb, 50 ppm), heavy metals (≤100 mg/kg) and BPA. The system flags exceedances before you place the packaging on the market.

Yes. The supplier portal lets you collect packaging data directly from suppliers — without emails and spreadsheets. The data feeds into the system and powers your DoCs and BDO export.

Yes. The system prepares packaging data for BDO reporting, including domestic volume only (excluding intra-EU supply and exports).
