The Missing Piece in Your EPR Strategy

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is changing how brands and manufacturers make packaging decisions, but there is no single framework to follow. State programs differ in their covered materials, reporting obligations, timelines, fee structures, and potential incentives—and those requirements continue to evolve.

This three-part educational webinar series, followed by an interactive Office Hours session, will help sustainability, packaging, compliance, procurement, and product teams:

• Understand what EPR may require

• Identify the documentation needed to substantiate claims and support decision making

• Determine where third-party certification can strengthen EPR strategy

The series, led by Sara Risley, Certification Officer for GreenCircle Certified, will translate evolving EPR requirements into practical guidance on packaging data, documentation, claims substantiation, and certification strategy.

Each live session builds toward a practical question: What does your organization need to measure, document, and verify to build a defensible EPR strategy?

Session 1 | Sept. 9: Why Certification Belongs in Your EPR Strategy

Session 2 | Sept. 23: Source Reduction vs. Dematerialization: Different Strategies, Different EPR Implications

Session 3 | Oct. 7: Beyond Reduction: Building a Certification Roadmap for EPR

Session 4 | Oct. 14: Office Hours - Open Q&A

All sessions will be held 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM | ET. Review the agenda for each session here.
