What even is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a set of rules that shift the burden of packaging waste away from taxpayers — and onto the companies who create the packaging in the first place.

  • ♻️ Producers help pay for recycling.
  • 📦 You must track & report packaging data.
  • 💸 Fees depend on recyclability — greener costs less.
  • 🚀 Reath does the hard parts so you don’t have to.
