Extended Producer Responsibility
Background
EPR policies make packaging producers financially responsible for managing post-consumer waste. This approach shifts costs from taxpayers to producers, encouraging design for recyclability, waste reduction, and system transparency. Understanding EPR is essential for compliance, innovation, and competitiveness as more U.S. states and global markets adopt mandatory packaging stewardship laws.
Our Services:
Aspen Conservation Technologies provides expert guidance on EPR compliance and strategy, translating complex legislation into actionable business frameworks. We help packaging producers, importers, and brand owners assess obligations, model fee exposure, and align packaging portfolios with evolving state laws. Drawing on regulatory experience and participation in policy development, we identify opportunities to reduce compliance costs through design optimization, recycled-content integration, and efficient reporting systems. We also assist in building constructive relationships with Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and environmental NGOs—turning regulatory challenges into pathways for innovation, brand leadership, and circular-economy readiness.
