What the Package Answers
1
Am I an obligated producer and in what states?
After a survey and intake call, we test your brands, licensing, supply chains, and sales pathways against each state's rules and exemptions. Your Producer & Packaging Evaluation is available for management briefings and regulator/PRO audits.
2
What exactly do I report and what can I leave out?
Your custom Producer Obligation Matrix sorts out your obligations according to packaging types, your supply chain and sales pathways, as well as potential exemptions. This is your "action" document you can use with software tools or an Excel sheet for reporting purposes.
3
What do I owe in fees?
A Fee Estimate Worksheet is you second "action" document; an Excel sheet for each state lists every state's categories of materials and the fee rate for each material. You can enter your packaging weights for each category and the Excel sheet will calculate your estimated fees for each state.
4
What do I do next and how do I stay current?
Your Compliance Plan coupled with a Compliance Timeline tells you what you need to do and when you need to do it. Your Package includes a one-hour debriefing with our team to discuss the Package and next steps. As an add-on, if requested, we update the entire Package, including updated fee rates, twice a year, in our Evergreen Update subscription service.
5
How can I lower my fees?
In the Fee Optimization Roadmap, we triage your packaging for the biggest driver in fees and evaluate design options against base fees and eco-modulated fees. You can then evaluate with your packaging professional (or with our partner packaging engineer) for product-appropriate design, and evaluate for costs and supply chain issues to strategize for fee optimization.
