Compliance is here. We help you get ahead of it.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation is reshaping how companies manage packaging, product accountability, and sustainability reporting. At CSY Impact Consulting, we help brands navigate EPR requirements with clarity, confidence, and strategy — turning regulatory risk into business opportunity.

Whether you’re in full compliance mode or just preparing for what’s ahead, we’ll help you assess obligations, prepare reports, forecast fees, and embed EPR strategy into your business model.

Obligation & Compliance Assessment

Understand your exposure — and act on it.

  • Determine where your packaging and products trigger EPR obligations (CO, OR, CA, ME, MD, MN, WA)

  • Clarify what’s in scope based on your portfolio, sales model, and labeling

  • Confirm obligations with Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and regulatory bodies

  • Identify exemption opportunities and compliance pathways

  • Translate state-by-state differences into a clear business roadmap

Outcome: Clarity on where you’re liable, what you must do, and how to stay in compliance — no guesswork.

Reporting, Fee Modeling & Budget Integration

Build a plan. Avoid surprises.

  • Prepare for reporting by aligning teams, systems, and datasets

  • Forecast fee ranges using published PRO fee schedules and scenario modeling

  • Identify high-cost packaging materials and evaluate cost-reduction opportunities

  • Integrate EPR into finance and ESG planning cycles

  • Support audit-ready, regulator-aligned reporting

Outcome: A clear view of your financial exposure and reporting requirements — with systems in place to manage both.

EPR Strategy & Governance

Move beyond compliance. Lead through circularity.

  • Set up internal governance to manage ongoing EPR compliance and strategy

  • Engage cross-functional teams — from packaging and procurement to legal and comms

  • Build internal decision frameworks tied to EPR deadlines and risk

  • Connect packaging strategy to broader circularity and carbon reduction goals

  • Stay ahead of regulatory changes and evolving expectations

Outcome: A business-aligned EPR strategy that supports compliance, reduces risk, and positions your brand for long-term success.
