Roadmap

The roadmap is your central compliance checklist: Reguly automatically evaluates where your PPWR compliance stands, suggests tasks in the right order and walks you click by click through the EU duties — from material documentation to the quarterly report.

What is the roadmap?

The roadmap is not a static document but a living status. It reads your master data (brand, products, packaging), checks them against the currently valid PPWR requirements and shows you:

  • which tasks are immediately due (e.g. missing recyclate shares),
  • which are coming up (e.g. the next packaging-register report),
  • which you have already completed — and what changes when EU rules are updated.

You reach the roadmap in the dashboard via PPWR → Roadmap. Every task can be opened — Reguly explains what to do and which dashboard area you do it in.

When do I use the roadmap?

  • When starting with Reguly: It tells you what to do first.
  • Every quarter: Before each quantity report — it shows whether all data is complete.
  • After every new product: It checks whether master data is sufficient to produce the DOC.
  • When laws change: Reguly updates the roadmap logic and you see new tasks automatically.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the roadmap

    Click 'PPWR → Roadmap' in the dashboard. You see a list of thematic blocks (e.g. material documentation, recyclate shares, labelling, packaging register).

  2. 2

    Check status per block

    Each block has a colour-coded status: green = done, amber = in progress, red = open. Click a block to see the detail tasks.

  3. 3

    Open a task

    Inside a block you find individual tasks. Reguly explains what to do, why the task matters and which dashboard area you need (e.g. 'Switch to Master data → Products and add the recyclate share for PET bottle A').

  4. 4

    Tick off a task

    As soon as a task is done, Reguly automatically checks whether the status changes. Some tasks you can also manually mark as 'Done', e.g. when the information was documented outside the system.

  5. 5

    Collect lawyer questions

    If a task is unclear, click 'Note question'. Reguly collects all your open questions in one block — perfect to discuss them in bulk with your legal advisor.

  6. 6

    View the timeline

    In the 'Timeline' tab you see EU deadlines visualised. So you always know what is due by when (e.g. 'PET recyclate share 25% — valid from 2025-01-01').

Status logic in detail

A block is green when every required task is done. Amber when at least one task is in progress (e.g. data request sent but supplier has not answered). Red when at least one required task is still completely open.

Reguly evaluates conservatively

When a value is missing or unclear, Reguly marks the task as open rather than prematurely as done. That avoids surprises in audits.

FAQ

Can I hide tasks that don't apply to me?
Yes. Click a task and choose 'Not relevant'. Reguly asks for a brief reason (e.g. 'No PET packaging in our portfolio'). The task disappears from the active list but remains traceable in the audit log.
I see a green status although I haven't done anything — why?
Reguly also evaluates data you maintained in master data. If you entered the recyclate share when creating a product, the task 'Document recyclate share' becomes green for that product automatically.
Who decides what is a PPWR duty?
Reguly maintains the roadmap logic in the background based on the current EU regulatory text. When it changes we update the tasks — you see new duties without lifting a finger.
Can I export the roadmap?
Yes, via the 'Export' button at the top right. You receive a PDF with all open and completed tasks — ideal for internal status meetings or as preparation for legal advice.
