The outsourced office for packaging EPR.
Packaging EPR (extended producer responsibility) laws make brands report their packaging and pay fees on it, state by state. We handle it for consumer brands and importers too lean to staff it: where you're obligated, supplier data, state filings, and a forecast of next year's fee with the changes that would lower it.
- Written answer by email
- No cost, no call required
- States, rules and deadlines
Coverage
Seven states. One office.
Each state with a packaging EPR law runs its own registration, reporting and fee schedule. In most, companies register, report and pay through a producer responsibility organization (PRO). We cover all seven. Select any state to see where it stands, including the ones with bills pending.

Hawaii, Rhode Island and Illinois have needs assessments under way, the study step that preceded every enacted program. What comes next.

Which states you're obligated in, under which rule, and by when — with the reasoning in writing.
- 02
Collect
Materials and weights for every packaging component, gathered from your suppliers and sorted into each state's material categories.
- 03
File
Registration and annual reporting in every state where you're obligated.
- 04
Forecast
Next year's fee by state and material, ready for your accrual — plus the packaging changes that would lower it.
Your client portal
See where you stand, any day of the year.
The EPR Office gives you a live view of your obligation. It shows each state's status and next deadline, what we need from your team, supplier data for each SKU, next year's fee forecast and the savings we've found, and every filing and document in one place.
- Obligations and deadlines, state by state
- Fee forecast by material and by state
- Supplier data coverage, SKU by SKU
- Filings, invoices and reports, downloadable
Where to start
Two ways to start.
Pick the one that fits where you are. Both lead to the same place: a number you can plan around, and an obligation someone else handles.

Fee Forecast
- Obligation determination within 48 hours of receiving your SKU list: which states you're obligated in, under which rule, with the reasoning written out so your counsel can review it
- SKU-level packaging map: what data you have, what's missing, and which supplier holds it
- Fee forecast by state and by material for the next reporting year, compared with your last invoice if you've filed
- Savings, sized: reporting corrections that need no packaging change, and packaging changes shown as optional
Credited in full against your first year if you continue.

Overpayment Review
- Free pre-screen in five business days. Send your filed reports, invoices and SKU list; we tell you the likely credit before any work starts
- We find the over-reporting: miscoded components, catalog weights and estimates replaced with measured data, math errors
- We file the Adjustment with CAA, fully documented, after you approve it, and answer CAA's questions
- Honest both ways: any under-reporting we find goes in too, and our fee is on the net credit
Then
The EPR Office
Your whole obligation, handled year-round, for one fixed fee locked for two years, quoted in writing with your Forecast. Every dollar we save you is yours.
What we need from you: two lists. Everything else is on us.
- Your SKU list
- Your supplier contacts
Importing a foreign brand? You may be the producer.
The "producer" is the company that must report and pay. When the brand owner isn't based in the US, that can be the company that brings the product in.
