“Every state program is different. The data requirements are significant, and we know manual tracking is how compliance programs fail.”
— Whitney A. Smith, CHMM, Trinity Consultants, at IMPACT 2026
Packaging EPR rules require detailed material types, weights, and sales volumes across varying state criteria. Tracking this across fragmented spreadsheets quickly breaks down.
Building a data foundation around BOMs lets teams maintain packaging profiles at the SKU level. Tying those weights directly to state sales volumes turns complex compliance reporting into an automated workflow.
Standardizing these attributes in a central product stewardship tool keeps teams ahead of state regulations while building visibility for sustainable packaging design.
