Footprint data
Footprint data contains everything needed to calculate the environmental impact of your product. Pickler uses this information to run reliable, traceable LCA-based calculations.
Last column indicates in what way the data is required for impact calculations
✅ = minimal required to enable calculations
🟠 = needed for calculations, but can be temporary filled by defaults
➖ = optional primary data, that is not needed for calculations but will increase the data quality if your calculations

Compliance data
Pickler enables you to capture all key compliance attributes required under upcoming EU legislation, including the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP/ESPR).
These fields do not affect impact calculations, but they are required for regulatory reporting and will appear in future Digital Product Passports. Each field reflects standard PPWR/ESPR terminology.
For detailed instructions on how to fill these fields and how they map to EU legislation, see:
