PPWR #3 — Articles 5–12 and the lab report (PFAS, heavy metals)

0:02 Step three: the requirements. Each article is a tile with its own status. No need to know the regulation by heart — the app asks questions one by one and explains each. Article five covers substances in packaging: heavy metals and PFAS compounds. First question: does the packaging touch food? That decides whether a PFAS test is needed.

0:30 Since August, PFAS in food-contact packaging above the regulation's thresholds has been banned. Lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium combined must stay below one hundred milligrams per kilogram. Where do these numbers come from? The lab report. Here's the convenient part. Instead of retyping results, we drop the report into Bielik with

0:58 the paperclip, like an email attachment. Before anything reaches the model, you see the curtain: the original on the left, and on the right, company names and addresses replaced with placeholders. The measurement results stay visible, because they decide compliance. We confirm, and the fields fill in by themselves: lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium six and three PFAS values.

1:28 A strict parser reads the numbers, not a language model, and it never overwrites values you typed yourself. The report is attached to the product and its technical documentation. Article six is recyclability: a grade from A to F, based on design-for-recycling criteria. Article seven, recycled content, applies to plastics — for cardboard, the app explains why it doesn't apply.

1:58 The other articles — minimisation, reuse, labelling — work the same way: question, answer, evidence. Everything saves automatically; the bar at the top shows what's left. Done — one hundred percent complete. Time to issue the declaration.
