EU Regulatory Compliance Automation

Your sustainability data
is not the problem.

Most companies have the numbers. What they're missing is the architecture to make those numbers mean something — before the August 2026 deadline.

Your Sustainability Data Is Not the Problem.

Across most European companies, sustainability data lives in four places at once: an ERP system, a supplier portal, a shared drive, and someone's inbox. Nobody planned it that way. It just happened.

Then August 2026 arrives, and with it, the first binding PPWR requirements. Labelling. Recyclability claims. Conformity statements. And someone, somewhere in the sustainability team, opens a blank Excel sheet and starts copy-pasting.

Three weeks later, they have something that technically works. But it won't survive 2028. Or 2030. Because the regulation has phases, and the process wasn't built for what comes next — it was built to survive right now.

A conformity statement for PPWR is not a certificate. It is not a third-party audit. For August 2026, it is a documented internal process — one that shows, clearly and traceably, how your packaging data maps to each regulatory requirement.

The companies that build this well now will spend significantly less time rebuilding it later. This is a process architecture problem. It happens to live inside the sustainability function.

Data scattered across systems

ERP, supplier portals, shared drives, inboxes. No central structure. No audit trail. The data exists — the architecture doesn't.

♻️

Recyclability unknown per component

Each packaging component must be assessed separately. Most teams don't know their current grades — and 2030 doesn't wait.

🏗️

Built to survive now, not 2030

Manual processes get you to August 2026. They won't survive 2028 or 2030 without a complete rebuild. The cost of doing it wrong compounds.

Three steps from
scattered data to signed declaration.

Implementation

Full deployment. Automated supplier outreach, document processing, compliance dashboard, and audit-ready Declaration of Conformity per packaging component.

Two documents.
Both mandatory. Both complex.

Recyclability is assessed per separate packaging component — each element requires its own documentation. Our automation handles PPWR, PFAS, and EUDR in a single supplier workflow.

Built by someone who
lived this problem.

Smart Cycle was founded by Dr. Liliane Melo — a materials engineer, former Sustainability Director, and regulatory compliance specialist who spent years doing manually what our system now automates.

Before building Smart Cycle, Liliane led sustainability strategy at Ilunion, was PMO at Boehringer Ingelheim, and worked as an academic coordinator — combining hands-on LCA methodology, ESG reporting, and supplier compliance experience that most AI companies simply don't have.
