The packaging industry is currently facing major challenges. With the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, also known as the EU Packaging Regulation), a regulation binding on all member states came into effect in the EU in 2025, which, in many respects, requires a shift in thinking and new approaches to packaging development. For example, this applies to recyclability, recycled content, and regulations on packaging minimization. Given the international focus of many Swiss companies, these issues will not stop at Switzerland’s borders.
The focus is on data related to packaging. This data forms the basis for the declaration of conformity and must be summarized in the technical documentation.
The comprehensive online tool Packaging Cockpit helps with this thanks to effective data management and automatic calculations. As a Swiss reseller, realcycle partners with Packaging Cockpit GmbH in Austria.

How does the Packaging Cockpit support you?
With the Packaging Cockpit as an online tool, you can not only effectively manage the packaging information currently required for the PPWR and use it to directly generate—and continuously update—the declaration of conformity and technical documentation. The tool also allows you to calculate various key metrics for your packaging, such as recyclability—tailored to specific countries based on the target market and in accordance with the PPWR as soon as possible—or environmental impacts (as carbon footprint and environmental footprint (EF 3.1)) as part of a life cycle assessment. In addition, you can manage the collected data within the tool itself, share it with selected customers, or request it directly from suppliers via the tool.
Thanks to the well-founded and meaningful results provided by the Packaging Cockpit, you can already start with sustainable packaging development and optimization today. Through broad application of the Packaging Cockpit, the assessment of packaging recyclability in Switzerland can be standardized and made comparable.
