EPR Compliance: Stay Ahead of the Curve with PTIS

Oct 7, 2025

By Mike Richmond, PTIS Founder & Principal

EPR Compliance: How to Stay Ahead and Competitive

Deadlines are here — and so are the EPR regulations that could impact your business.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are now active across multiple states. Even if your company isn’t based in an EPR state, if your products are sold there, EPR compliance requirements apply to you.

The challenge? Each state has different rules, timelines, and reporting requirements. Incomplete or inaccurate data can lead to costly penalties, and figuring it out alone can be time-consuming and risky.

PTIS simplifies EPR compliance. We combine world-class data management with regulatory expertise to interpret legislation, calculate fees, and organize packaging data into ready-to-file reports. We also identify opportunities to optimize packaging and reduce EPR fee impact.

Confidence in Every Deadline

PTIS’s EPR compliance services include:

  • Compliance Mapping & PRO Registration

  • Data Analysis & Comprehensive Reporting

  • Packaging Risk Reviews & Market-Specific Guidance

  • Reporting Software, Subscriptions & Consulting

  • Material Optimization to Reduce Fees

  • Fee Estimation to Plan Future Impact

With accurate supply chain data, clear guidance, and ongoing updates, PTIS helps your business stay compliant and competitive as EPR laws evolve.
