Global EPR regulations are reshaping the packaging industry, requiring organizations to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their packaging.
With varying fees, compliance requirements, and potential risks across different markets, understanding your obligations is crucial. Proactively managing costs and sustainability goals can help you mitigate risks, avoid penalties, and ensure your packaging remains compliant and commercially viable worldwide.
As a brand or retailer, you’re likely to be aware of the complexities surrounding EPR. Especially if you sell products in several countries, states, provinces, territories or globally.
EPR is transforming organizations, with several US States, many provinces / territories in Canada and almost all of Europe now with active EPR schemes.
To stay ahead of the EPR curve, it’s crucial to keep up with the latest packaging and producer responsibility updates whilst also implementing packaging processes and systems that ensure compliance across all territories where your packaging is sold.
Aura’s Packaging Consultants are here to guide you through these changes, helping you navigate evolving EPR regulations, stay compliant, minimize fees and mitigate risks.
Our Consultants help you understand your EPR obligations wherever your products are sold. We assist in creating roadmaps specific to your obligations, advising on packaging data requirements and penalties of non-compliance.
Our Consultants work with your business to optimize your packaging strategy, always considering the total cost of goods, which includes all end-of-life fees, Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT), Deposit Return Schemes (DRS) and EPR. We can also provide a sustainability strategy which can include recyclability, reusable packaging, compostable, and packaging reduction.
Our packaging experts understand the total cost of goods and advise on all elements of packaging, particularly innovative solutions and optimizing packaging to reduce EPR fees. We will never compromise on the key requirements of packaging and all solutions proposed are fit-for-purpose, meet regulatory requirements and are viable in the region required, while also balancing production capabilities and ease of implementation.
We support you in collecting robust, accurate packaging data to ensure EPR compliance across all your packaging.
EPR is being implemented across many countries and States, all with differing rule sets and levels of eco-modulation. However, the process for oligated organizations remains the same.
The EPR guide model below will help you break down the key stages and enable you to remain compliant.
