How do you set up your data in the Packaging Cockpit?
Data records can be created in the Packaging Cockpit in various ways:
- Manual data entry
- Packaging systems can be created and specifications entered in the intuitive user interface of the Packaging Cockpit
- Import from suppliers
- We are happy to assist you in conveniently providing the data via an interface
- Copying an existing data record and changing the necessary details
- The data management area of the Packaging Cockpit enables clear management of data records within a folder structure. Here, data records can be copied, sorted and individually structured
- Excel template transfer
- The data can be easily transferred to the Packaging Cockpit via an Excel import
- Managed service interface: customer software, e.g. an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, can be connected at any stage
What packaging data is required to perform calculations?
To calculate recyclability and the life cycle assessment, you need to enter some important specifications. Mandatory fields are marked with an *. An overview of the most important data is listed below:
- The materials used and their weights
- Dimensions
- Manufacturing processes for the individual components
- Colour and printing
- Detailed queries about the individual components
- Adhesion and solubility
- Surface coverage of the main body by decorations
- Separability
- Country of manufacture
What do I need to do to get started with the Packaging Cockpit?
- Get in touch with a contact person
- We will clarify with you whether it is more advantageous for you to use the web application or a built-in solution (e.g. SAP) in one of your existing systems. Depending on the application, we will be happy to explain the next steps to you.
Do all detailed data have to be transferred?
No, it is also possible to transfer Lean Spec Datasets
- These contain only the key data of the packaging and, optionally, the results of calculations of recyclability and life cycle assessment data
- The Lean Spec Datasets provide the most important information but cannot be used to perform calculations. This also makes it more difficult to imitate the packaging
Does the Packaging Cockpit cover all the countries I need?
The Packaging Cockpit already supports a large number of countries and is being continuously expanded. Our team is constantly working to integrate additional markets and regions in order to best meet your requirements.

How are current developments or changes incorporated into the calculation logic of the Packaging Cockpit?
The Packaging Cockpit is continuously developed and regularly updated. This is based on ongoing regulatory research that takes into account relevant changes in key legislation - such as the PPWR, relevant guidelines and country-specific requirements - and integrates them into the calculation logic.
Does the Packaging Cockpit meet the future requirements of the PPWR?
The ongoing development of the Packaging Cockpit is closely aligned with the current progress of the PPWR. Once the relevant criteria have been finalized, the tool is designed to enable an assessment of packaging compliance with the PPWR.
In addition, a standardized framework is being developed to clearly and transparently incorporate additional content and requirements, such as the definition of key technical terms or minimum data requirements.
