What an obligated producer has to do
Register. Report. Pay.
In every state with a program, producers report packaging data and pay fees calculated from it.
01
Register
Identify as an obligated producer with the producer responsibility organization in each state.
02
Report
Submit packaging by material type and weight, per item, for everything supplied into that state.
03
Pay
Fees are calculated from that data. Understating it is a compliance exposure. Overstating it is a cash cost.
How it works
From product list to filing in four steps.
01
Import products
From ERP, GDSN, PIM, CSV or API.
02
Complete packaging data
Material, weight and component data filled and validated. Missing values proposed by AI, approved by a person.
03
Calculate fees
Per jurisdiction, against current rate schedules.
04
Export reports
Filing-ready output for each producer responsibility organization.

Every component, accounted for
Packaging is modeled per item, per component.
Each value is labeled by where it came from, so you know what you can stand behind and what still needs a supplier answer.

FAQ
Questions compliance teams ask.
Am I an obligated producer?
Needs input
Explain the general rules and offer the exposure estimate as the way to find out. Have legal review before publishing.
What if my suppliers don’t give me packaging data?
Missing values are detected, proposed by AI where possible, and clearly labeled as estimated until confirmed.
How do you handle estimated versus measured weights?
Every value carries its source label, so estimated weights are visible in the data and in the report.
Do you file for me?
Needs input
State whether Data Controller files on your behalf or produces filing-ready files for you to submit.
How quickly do you add a new state?
Needs input
Describe the process and typical timing.
