North America EPR compliance consulting and strategic planning
Extended producer responsibility is changing the way brands and manufacturers deal with packaging compliance all over North America. EPR Group Consulting has become known as a reliable expert for companies trying to keep up with the quickly changing world of producer obligations. The company’s headquarters are at 2300 Wilson Blvd, Suite 700, Arlington, VA 22201. It was founded to help clients understand regulations and plan for the future. It works with producers of all sizes who want structured, cost-effective ways to comply.
As more and more EPR programs are set up at the state level and reporting deadlines get shorter, many organizations are having trouble keeping track of their obligations, managing their data, and finding the best fees. EPR Group Consulting steps in right here, offering a set of unique services that turn complicated regulations into a competitive edge. The company has the institutional knowledge and analytical rigor needed to help businesses move forward with confidence, whether they are just starting to comply or trying to make an existing program work better.
The EPR Solutions Package™ is the most popular resource on the EPR Group Consulting site for new clients. It is a complete, custom-built compliance foundation that comes in five parts that work together. The Producer and Packaging Evaluation (PPE)™ is the first step in this signature service. It helps producers understand which packaging and covered materials create obligations in each state. Companies could end up reporting on materials for which they are not legally responsible, which would cost them extra money and time.
The Producer Obligation Matrix (POM) builds on the PPE by showing a company’s obligation or lack of obligation for each material group, sales pathway, and state. The POM Report comes with this matrix and has direct links to state covered-materials lists, advice from the Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) on how to report data, and step-by-step instructions for using the POM to send in supply data. This level of detail makes sure that producers only pay fees for materials they are really responsible for, which can save them a lot of money.
An Initial Compliance Plan, a Timeline for Compliance Deadlines, and a Fee Optimization Roadmap are all included in the package. The roadmap is especially important because it lets producers choose a specific part of the packaging and look at the eco-modulated fee factors that apply to different state programs. Each component of the EPR Group Consulting site resource library is updated to reflect new state-level developments.
The Evergreen Reporting Service™ offers a fixed-fee subscription that includes a semiannual review and update of all five EPR Solutions Package components for producers who need ongoing help. This service keeps clients up to date on new state programs, changing obligations, and new regulatory developments without having to hire new analysts for each reporting cycle.
Getting in touch with the right expert at the right time can make a big difference in how long it takes for a producer to comply. The EPR Group Consulting phone number is (703) 493-0732. Callers should ask for Catherine W. Johnson, the Managing Director of the firm, who is in charge of client relationships and strategic consulting.
The response times are very fast. Many producers are under a lot of pressure to meet compliance deadlines, especially those who are getting close to the June 2026 supply data and baseline source reduction report deadlines in California. Being able to call or email EPR group consulting and get expert help quickly is a big operational advantage.
Clients can reach the team through the EPR group consulting e-mail address info@eprgroupconsulting.com. People on this team are experts in many areas, such as packaging science, environmental law, sustainability strategy, and regulatory affairs. Some of the people on the team are experts who have talked about EPR policy at the state and international levels.
Clients often ask for help with the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and other international EPR frameworks, so this policy fluency is very useful. EPR group consulting helps businesses with global supply chains by putting their obligations in a bigger political and regulatory context.
The company offers more than just its main EPR services. It also offers sustainability advisory services that include restrictions on truth-in-labeling, requirements for post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, third-party certifications, and restrictions on toxins in packaging.
The main difference between EPR group consulting and other generalist sustainability consultancies is that EPR focuses on strategic planning instead of reactive compliance. The company’s method starts with the idea that producers’ responsibilities are not set in stone. They grow as new states pass EPR laws, PROs set their fees, and regulatory bodies give out new guidance.
The Timeline for Compliance Deadlines part of the EPR Solutions Package deals with this problem head-on. The timeline shows producers what they need to do over the next few years by showing both PRO compliance requirements and statutory and regulatory timelines for all active state programs. This way of looking at things lets finance teams plan for paying fees, legal teams get ready for registration requirements, and operations teams change packaging specifications long before the deadlines.
The rules about packaging in California are a big focus. According to California’s SB 54 law, all packaging used in the state must meet certain requirements for being recyclable or compostable by 2032. EPR Group Consulting’s help with source reduction planning and baseline reporting lets clients make proactive decisions about what materials to use instead of scrambling to meet compliance deadlines at the last minute.
The first step for producers who are ready to start their compliance journey is to have a discovery conversation with the EPR group consulting team. The first step in this process is usually to look at the producer’s current packaging portfolio, figure out which states they have EPR obligations in, and find the cheapest way to meet those obligations.
You can get in touch with the EPR group by calling (703) 493-0732, using the EPR group consulting e-mail address info@eprgroupconsulting.com, or filling out a form on the company’s website.
Clients can also get help from EPR group consulting through Ongoing Compliance Support arrangements, which can be set up on a need-to-know basis or as a retainer. The company is open to businesses at all levels of compliance maturity — from businesses that are just learning about EPR obligations to those that have been doing it for a while and want to make their reports more accurate.
