PPWR masterclass: How food & beverage companies get their data audit-ready
Simvia (formerly Agriplace)
47:27
A practical webinar for food & beverage QA, Quality, Regulatory, and Compliance teams preparing for the PPWR August 2026 deadline, including Declarations of Conformity and packaging documentation requirements.
With PPWR, the real challenge isn’t just understanding the regulation, it’s getting the right packaging data from suppliers, internal systems (ERP, PLM, Excel), and technical documents into a format that is structured, accessible, and usable.
In this session, we focus on the practical reality for QA and packaging teams: how to work with suppliers, reduce manual follow-up, create consistent packaging records, and build a reliable foundation for DoCs, technical evidence, customer requests, and audits.
Based on lessons from working with 250,000+ suppliers in food & beverage, we will share:
- Where packaging data typically sits today: across supplier documents, specifications, emails, internal systems, and quality records—and why it’s often incomplete or difficult to use
- What data QA teams need to structure for PPWR: incl. DoCs, technical documentation, and customer or auditor requests
- How to structure your packaging data: what a workable data model looks like, and how to connect packaging items, materials, suppliers, documents, and approval status
- How to future-proof your approach: using structured data to support broader compliance workflows beyond PPWR (e.g. food contact materials, specifications)
Who should attend
This session is particularly relevant for professionals working in:
- Quality Assurance
- Packaging
- Sustainability
- Purchasing
Join this webinar to learn how to turn fragmented packaging information into structured, supplier-backed, audit-ready data for PPWR.

PPWR data expert
Ik help toonaangevende food- en retailbedrijven in de Benelux om leveranciers- en productcompliance te digitaliseren en automatiseren binnen complexe supply chains. Samen met kwaliteits-, inkoop- en duurzaamheidsteams werk ik aan minder handmatig werk, betere samenwerking met leveranciers en auditklare complianceprocessen. Daarbij spelen regelgevingstrajecten zoals PPWR, CSRD, CSDDD en EUDR vaak een belangrijke rol. Simvia (voorheen Agriplace) is gebouwd op een wereldwijd netwerk van meer dan 200.000 leveranciers in 130 landen, die geverifieerde data delen tot op product- en boerderijniveau.
