According to the regulation, companies must establish formal documentation demonstrating that their packaging complies with the new sustainability, safety, and design requirements. From the general application date of August 12, 2026, packaging may only be placed on the EU market if a valid Declaration of Conformity (DoC) has been issued and is supported by comprehensive technical documentation.

SAP Responsible Design and Production enables you to fulfill the documentation requirements of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, including generating Declarations of Conformity.
