EPR Compliance Software for Multi-State Packaging Compliance

5/5 stars for client support

Packaging EPR laws are expanding across the United States, creating new EPR compliance obligations for manufacturers, consumer goods companies, retailers, distributors, and brand owners.

Each program differs in its producer definitions, covered materials, registration requirements, implementation timelines, fee structures, and EPR reporting requirements. Meeting these obligations requires coordination across tax, sustainability, legal, finance, procurement, and operations.

ComplyIQ is EPR compliance software that helps organizations gain control of EPR compliance with a centralized view of obligations, ownership, deadlines, EPR reporting activities, and emerging compliance risks.


EPR Compliance Is Expanding. Compliance Risk Doesn't Have To.

Purpose-Built for Companies Navigating Evolving EPR Regulations

Understanding the law is only the beginning. Organizations must determine which requirements apply, gather packaging data, coordinate recurring EPR reporting, prepare for producer fees, and adapt internal processes as EPR regulations change.

ComplyIQ provides a centralized environment for managing those activities. Teams can use the EPR compliance software to:

  • Gain visibility into multi-state EPR compliance obligations
  • Coordinate compliance activities across departments and stakeholders
  • Manage recurring EPR reporting requirements through a structured, repeatable, and scalable process
  • Maintain accountability for deadlines, submissions, fees, and supporting documentation
  • Reduce compliance risk through proactive tracking and oversight
  • Respond more efficiently as EPR regulations continue to evolve

This creates a repeatable compliance process without relying on disconnected spreadsheets, inbox reminders, or institutional knowledge.

Understand Your EPR Obligations

Organizations selling products across multiple jurisdictions often find that requirements vary significantly from state to state, making it difficult to maintain a consistent compliance process.

Explore state-specific requirements:

While understanding state requirements is essential, managing ongoing registrations, reporting activities, deadlines, and internal accountability across jurisdictions is where compliance becomes operationally complex.

Answers to your questions

EPR compliance is the process of meeting the producer responsibility requirements established by an applicable program. Depending on the jurisdiction, obligations may include registration, participation in a producer responsibility organization, data collection, fee payments, EPR reporting, and ongoing compliance activities.

EPR regulations establish producer responsibility requirements for covered products or materials. Packaging programs may address producer definitions, covered materials, registration, reporting, fees, reduction or recycling goals, program participation, and other ongoing obligations.

California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington are all states that have enacted EPR laws.

EPR reporting is the process of collecting and submitting information required by an applicable program or producer responsibility organization. Depending on the program, submissions may require producer information and data about packaging materials or quantities.

EPR compliance software helps organizations manage producer responsibility obligations by centralizing requirements, workflows, ownership, deadlines, documentation, and reporting activities across jurisdictions.

ComplyIQ supports EPR reporting by helping teams define required activities, assign owners, track due dates, organize supporting documentation, and monitor each workflow through completion.

ComplyIQ manages the process surrounding the submission. It does not calculate packaging data or submit reports directly to regulators or producer responsibility organizations.

When EPR regulations change, teams can update the associated workflows, deadlines, responsibilities, and compliance activities in ComplyIQ. This helps organizations adapt their internal process without rebuilding the entire program.

California SB 54 is the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act. It requires producers of covered packaging to register, report, pay fees, and participate through the state’s PRO. It also sets plastic reduction and recyclability targets through 2032. The state’s regulations took effect May 1, 2026, and producer fees begin in 2027.

Organizations can manage multi-state EPR compliance by establishing a centralized process for identifying obligations, coordinating data and documentation, assigning responsibility, tracking deadlines, and monitoring completion across jurisdictions.
