The EPR Solutions Package
Five questions every producer needs answered

WHAT THE PACKAGE ANSWERS
1
Am I a 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.
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 next steps. As an add-on, Evergreen Updates updates the Package twice a year on a subscription basis.
2
What exactly do I report, and what can I leave out?
Your custom Producer Obligation Matrix sorts out your obligations according to your packaging types, supply chain, sales pathways, and potential exemptions. You can use it with software tools or an Excel sheet for reporting.
5
How can I lower my fees?
The Fee Optimization Roadmap takes a deep look at one packaging feature: how each state's base rates and eco-modulation bonuses and penalties apply to it, which design options could lower its fees, and what to weigh in choosing among them.
3
What do I owe in fees?
Your Fee Estimate Worksheet is a state-by-state Excel sheet that lists each category of material and its fee rate. You can enter your packaging weights for each category, and the Excel sheet will calculate your estimated fees for each state.
FEE REDUCTION BY DESIGN
Fee Reduction Strategy
The Fee Reduction Strategy starts where the Roadmap leaves off. Once you’ve reported and received your first fee invoices, we triage your packaging to find the two or three items driving the most cost, evaluate design options for each against base rates and eco-modulated fees, and lay out next steps and when to take them. You can share it with your own packaging professionals or work with our partner packaging engineer to evaluate design choices and expenses for your product-specific packaging and budget.
