EUDR hits the fibre
Wood and pulp origin must be evidenced deforestation-free — per delivery, with geodata from the upstream chain.
Industry solution
Digital Product Passport for paper & pulp
Fibre origin, recycled content, EUDR evidence: Passenta structures the data of your paper and pulp products — for retail, packaging customers and coming passport formats.
Where your industry stands
In the ESPR preparatory studiesPaper is being examined in the EU preparatory studies for ESPR; a passport duty is not yet scheduled. More concrete today are the EUDR (deforestation-free supply chains for wood fibres), the recyclate quotas of packaging customers and certification schemes like FSC/PEFC — all data and evidence questions.
As of July 2026. Regulatory information summarised to the best of our knowledge — not legal advice; the EU legal texts prevail.
What the industry is dealing with
Recyclate vs. virgin fibre
Packaging customers need substantiated recycled content for their own quotas — per grade and batch, not as an image figure.
Certificate management
Keeping FSC, PEFC and eco-label evidence current per grade and mill is a permanent effort with expiry dates.
What Passenta takes over
Grades with evidence profiles
Fibre origin, recycled content and certificates structured per grade — with validities, gap report and audit trail.
Supply chain collaboration
Pulp and recovered paper suppliers contribute via link — in their language, without an account; the chain stays documented for EUDR disclosures.
Customer disclosures as packages
Packaging and retail customers receive structured disclosure packages instead of email attachments — repeatable at every audit.

Frequently asked questions
Is a mandatory passport coming for paper?
Paper is in the ESPR preparatory studies; no date exists. Binding today are EUDR due-diligence duties for wood fibres and the data wishes of packaging customers — both served by a structured product data base.
Does Passenta support EUDR evidence?
Passenta documents supply chain and origin evidence in a structured way and makes it shareable as a disclosure package. The EUDR submission itself happens in the EU system — with a clean data base it's considerably easier.
Can we evidence recycled content per grade?
Yes — as a substantiated figure with evidence per grade or batch, directly usable in customer disclosures.
