Plastics & Polymers - Certivo

Plastics & Polymers

One Missing Material Declaration Blocks a €3M Shipment. You Have 500 Polymer Formulations to Track.

Plastics and polymers compliance spans multiple regulations with overlapping deadlines. PPWR requires recycled content certification starting 2030. PFAS is banned in food packaging from August 2026. REACH SVHC updates hit every six months. Your compliance team is drowning in spreadsheets while customers demand declarations you can't provide. Manual compliance processes can't scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.

30-65% Recycled content requirements by 2030 (PPWR)

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.

PPWR Deadline Approaching

Your brand customers are asking for recycled content documentation and recyclability declarations. PPWR applies from August 2026. You have hundreds of polymer grades and no systematic way to collect data from resin suppliers. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.

Your Compliance Person Just Left

The one person who tracked SVHC updates, managed supplier material declarations, and knew which formulations contained restricted substances just resigned. The REACH SVHC list now has 251 substances. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.

Customer RFQ Lost to Compliance Delays

A major CPG customer rejected your quote because you couldn't prove PFAS-free status for food packaging applications. They needed substance compliance documentation within 48 hours. You lost a €2M contract. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.

Board Asking Questions

Executive team wants to know your regulatory exposure. "Which formulations contain PFAS? What's our PPWR readiness? Can we prove recycled content in plastic packaging?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don't have answers.

Pain Points

Plastics & Polymers Compliance Is Broken

Formulation Data Chaos

Before

Material safety data sheets in email attachments, REACH compliance declarations on supplier portals, additive specifications in filing cabinets. Nobody knows what's current. SVHC data is with R&D, recycled content data is with procurement, PFAS data doesn't exist. No centralized system of record.

After

Every supplier material declaration in one place with continuous audit-ready documentation. Substance data tracked automatically. Instant alerts when REACH adds new SVHCs. Search by formulation, supplier, regulation, or substance. Complete multi-tier supply chain transparency.

Compliance Visibility See Every Formulation. Every Supplier. Every Substance.

No more digging through supplier portals. One dashboard shows polymer formulation compliance status across your entire product portfolio—with gaps and SVHC impacts flagged before they become problems. True BOM-level compliance intelligence.

AI-Powered Validation

Never Manually Review a Material Declaration Again

AI reads supplier material declarations like your best analyst—extracting substances, concentrations, and compliance status. Issues flagged automatically. You manage exceptions, not spreadsheets. AI-native compliance automation at scale.

Customer Documentation

Win Deals You'd Lose Waiting for Compliance Data

When brand customers request PFAS declarations or recycled content certification, respond in hours—not weeks. Complete compliance evidence packages with continuous audit-ready documentation. One click generates everything.

One Supplier Declaration. Five Regulations Validated. Instantly.

When a supplier sends a material declaration, Certivo validates it against REACH SVHC thresholds, PPWR recyclability criteria, PFAS restrictions in food packaging, microplastics requirements, and customer specifications simultaneously. One upload. Complete compliance picture. No manual cross-referencing. AI-native compliance automation eliminates repetitive validation work.

Built for Plastics & Polymers Supply Chain Compliance

Key Regulations for Plastics & Polymers

Why Now - Deadlines

August 2026
PPWR Applies in EU

EU packaging waste regulation takes effect. PFAS concentration limits apply to food contact packaging. Recyclability requirements begin phasing in. Multi-tier supply chain transparency required now.

August 2026
PFAS Food Packaging Ban

PFAS ban in food packaging under PPWR effective with limits of 25 ppb (targeted) and 50 ppm (total fluorine including polymeric PFAS). BOM-level compliance intelligence essential for substance tracking.

January 2030
Recycled Content Targets

Recycled content requirements take effect: 30% for contact-sensitive PET, 35% for non-contact-sensitive plastic bottles, up to 65% for other categories. Digital product passport enablement preparation begins now.

Key Statistics

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Certivo handle suppliers who don't respond to declaration requests?

CORA achieves 85%+ supplier response rates through automated multi-language supplier outreach via centralized supplier self-service portals and smart follow-up sequences. For non-responsive suppliers, we flag the compliance risk in supplier risk scoring ecosystems, suggest alternative data sources, and help you make informed decisions about supplier qualification.

Can Certivo track SVHC impacts when REACH updates the Candidate List?

Yes. Certivo automatically analyzes your formulation portfolio against every REACH SVHC Candidate List update within hours of ECHA announcements. BOM-level compliance intelligence provides complete component-to-product traceability. You receive impact reports identifying affected products, additives, and suppliers requiring customer notification.

How do you handle recycled content verification for PPWR?

Certivo's recycled content documentation campaigns collect PCR content data from resin suppliers through centralized supplier self-service portals with automated follow-ups. We validate supplier responses, track recyclability grades against PPWR A-E classifications, and generate customer-ready recycled content certification with chain of custody documentation.

What PFAS data can you collect from suppliers?

Certivo's standardized supplier questionnaire frameworks collect substance-level data on per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds in additives and processing aids. We track supplier responses, flag incomplete declarations, and generate PFAS restriction compliance reports to prepare for EU PPWR and broader REACH restrictions.

Does Certivo support Digital Product Passport requirements?

Yes. Digital product passport enablement is built into Certivo's architecture. As EU requirements evolve, your compliance data—including substance composition, recycled content, and supply chain traceability—is structured for DPP generation. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence keeps you informed of emerging DPP mandates.
