The operating workflow
EPR compliance is a repeatable system, not a spreadsheet rescue.
Your packaging data lives in five places. Each state writes its own rules. EPR Buddy turns recurring mapping, formulas, and defensibility work into a governed workflow.
Map materials and components
Classify bottles, caps, labels, dunnage, wraps, and composite packaging into state-ready reporting categories.
Calculate fees by state
Apply jurisdiction rules, material formulas, reporting weights, producer scope, and filing-period logic in one repeatable engine.
Prove every number
Open a fee and trace it back to the source row, mapping decision, rule version, and calculation step used in the report.
State coverage
Three states filing-ready. Four more in rollout.
Filing-ready states have approved implementation paths and producer reporting cycles. Rollout states are active laws with details still moving through plans, guidance, and startup reporting.
