What you placed on the market per country this year, per material: the overview in the free plugin. Screenshots of the free plugin, version 1.0.9, in a test store with made-up data.
Frozen with every order: the shipping profile, the weight per kind of packaging and the country. Screenshots of the free plugin, version 1.0.9, in a test store with made-up data.
Weigh once, then it runs by itself.
You don't need to know what the PPWR is to get your data in order.
Create a profile with the materials and weights of your product packaging and your shipping box. When your packaging changes, you create a new version and earlier figures stay as they were.
Straight from the product or per variation, or for many products at once with bulk assignment or a CSV import by SKU. You see what will change before you apply it.
The plugin records which material goes to which country, including the shipping packaging: the default, another one or deliberately none. If data is missing, you see it straight away.
Packaging has become a reporting task.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has applied since 12 August 2026. On top of that, each country has its own extended producer responsibility (EPR) rules, with registers and declarations such as LUCID in Germany and Verpact in the Netherlands.
For that, you need to know how much packaging material you place on the market per country. For a store that ships to several countries, that's almost impossible to keep track of by hand.
The plugin records that data while you simply keep selling, so it's ready when you need to prepare your declaration.
What the plugin does not do
The plugin helps you record your data and prepare your declaration. It does not give legal advice, does not decide whether you are a producer and does not certify that you meet the rules. It does not create official filing files and does not file declarations itself.
The organisations mentioned are not partners of Brightfern Labs.
Everything stays in your own WordPress.
No account, no cloud and no trial that runs out. It won't slow down your checkout.

Your data, prepared per country.
For six countries, the free plugin sets your recorded data apart so you can review it yourself. Anything missing stays visible as missing. These views do not decide whether you are a producer, do not calculate fees and are not an official declaration.
| Country | What the free plugin prepares |
|---|---|
| Austria | Optional details per packaging component, kept with new orders, and an internal annual view of material totals and missing data. |
| Denmark | Totals per year and per quarter, an administrative CSV and component details kept with every new order. A preparation file shows gross weights by declared use: household or commercial. |
| Italy | An internal annual view of your recorded material totals, for your own review. |
| Poland | Recorded material totals per year and your own administrative CSV for review. |
| Spain | Your business and packaging details, kept with every order, and an internal annual view that shows which data is still missing. |
| Sweden | Recorded material totals per year, with separate administrative periods before and from 12 August 2026, and your own material CSV for review; the plugin does not create an official Swedish declaration. |
| Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France | In development: reporting with rules maintained per country. Want to share what your store needs? Email info@brightfernlabs.com. |
