Seven states now enforce Extended Producer Responsibility packaging laws, each with its own rules, deadlines, and fees. We handle registration, data, and reporting so your brand stays compliant — and keeps selling.
Live in Maine, Oregon, California, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington — with more states passing laws every year.
EPR penalties accrue per violation, per day, across every SKU you sell. For a growing brand, exposure adds up faster than most teams expect.
This is a real Oregon enforcement action — not a hypothetical. A furniture manufacturer missed a single packaging reporting deadline. Here's how the fine grew.

EPR isn't a form you fill out once. It's a data problem layered on a patchwork of state laws that don't agree with each other.
Component-level packaging composition usually isn't in your ERP or PLM system. It has to be reconstructed from specs, BOMs, and supplier records.
Each state defines "obligated producer," "covered packaging," and fee tiers differently. What satisfies Oregon won't satisfy California.
In Oregon and California, compliance is a condition of doing business — not a fine you can absorb and move on from.
More states pass EPR frameworks every year, each adding new definitions, deadlines, and liability to track.
We assemble your packaging data once, map it to every state's rules, and keep your filings audit-ready — with minimal lift from your team.
We build one clean, component-level dataset from your packaging specs, sales, and suppliers — so it's done right, once.
Our deterministic rule engine encodes each state's definitions and fee tiers, so your obligations are accurate everywhere you sell.
We handle registration with the CAA and each state program, and keep your reporting audit-ready as deadlines arrive.
Our team brings decades across management consulting, enterprise software, and financial services — and has already built a patent-pending deterministic engine that turned 4,400 pages of U.S. tariff law into machine-readable rules. We're applying that same core to EPR.
