What packaging EPR asks of you
EPR makes brands pay to recycle the packaging they sell. Seven US states have passed it.
- Who pays
- The brand owner. If it’s outside the US, usually the importer.
- What you report
- Packaging sold into each state, by material and weight, every year.
- Who you report to
- A producer responsibility organization. In six states, the Circular Action Alliance.
- How fees are set
- By the pound. Harder-to-recycle materials cost more.

The hard part isn’t the report. It’s the data behind it.
Your item master knows what you sell; your suppliers know what it’s made of. But specs go out of date, weights get rounded, and recycled content goes unreported.
Because EPR fees are billed by the pound, every rounded-up gram across every SKU means paying for packaging you never shipped, while your quality team chases emails before every deadline.

Packaging EPR questions
Am I a producer under EPR?
If your brand is on packaged products sold into an EPR state, probably yes. Without a US brand owner, it’s usually the importer.
Is there a small business exemption?
Yes, based on revenue or tonnage. Thresholds differ by state.
What data do I need?
Each SKU’s packaging components, with material, weight and units sold per state. Some states also want recycled content.
What if I don’t report?
California can fine up to $50,000 per day per violation, starting 30 days after a notice.
