Packaging Space Review: Prepare Your Data for PPWR Assessment

Begin with the applicable requirements

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation is Regulation (EU) 2025/40. Use the official text to identify the provisions, dates and calculation methods relevant to your packaging and business role. Keep that assessment connected to the configuration being reviewed.

Make the volume basis visible

A product's bounding dimensions describe the space needed to place it. Its material volume can be different, especially for hollow or irregular shapes. Record which basis a measure uses before comparing it with another result or an external requirement.

Keep internal container dimensions, product quantities, inserts and protection requirements with the project. These inputs explain why space remains and what could change in another configuration.

Use the layout to explore alternatives

Optipacker lets you compare packing configurations and inspect the arrangement in 3D. Review a different container, permitted orientation or insert setup while keeping the relevant product and handling requirements consistent.

A configured space threshold is useful for highlighting a result to examine. Treat the calculated measure, its inputs and the applicable assessment method as separate parts of the review.

Record the decision

Keep the selected configuration, its material quantities and the assumptions used for the comparison together. Your team can then trace the packaging decision back to the product and container data.
