High-impact, web-based series designed to help businesses navigate the new sustainable packaging landscape.
GLOUCESTER, Mass., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pure Strategies, a sustainability consulting firm empowering brands and retailers to realize meaningful environmental and social improvement, is offering a 3-part training program to help companies take effective action as U.S. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) packaging laws expand across the states.
The EPR Readiness Accelerator is being held April 13, 15, and 17 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM EST. The high-impact, 3-part live web-based series is designed to help businesses move from regulatory uncertainty to strategic readiness.
Pure Strategies’ EPR Readiness Accelerator will cut through the dense legislative and regulatory text to provide corporate sustainability, packaging, compliance, legal, and procurement teams with a clear roadmap for EPR compliance and strategic business opportunities.
“As Extended Producer Responsibility packaging laws sweep across the United States, companies need to move quickly from awareness to action,” notes Cheryl Baldwin, VP of Sustainability Consulting, Pure Strategies. “The May 31, 2026 reporting deadline is fast approaching for current and new states – and many companies are not prepared for this deadline and what comes next.”
The EPR Readiness Accelerator includes three web-based sessions that walk through key aspects of EPR and sustainable packaging efforts and will offer live “Ask the Expert” time and useful tips and tools to accelerate corporate efforts. Sustainability experts from Pure Strategies will lead the training; legal advice is not part of the program.
EPR Readiness Accelerator Session Overview
Session 1: The US EPR Landscape
- Focus: Mapping the “where” and “when.”
- Content: A comprehensive view of U.S. packaging EPR laws and regulations. We define who “Producer” is and identify compliance next steps, such as reporting deadlines.
Session 2: Data and Reporting Rigor
- Focus: The “how” of compliance.
- Content: EPR requires granular data (package types, materials, weights, and components). We review best practices for this packaging inventory from SKU-level auditing to supply chain data requests and establish a “single source of truth” for reporting.
Session 3: Business Opportunities
- Focus: Turning costs into ROI.
- Content: Understanding “Eco-Modulation” and how to lower your fees through better packaging design. We look at how shifts in material selection, lightweighting, and reusable packaging models directly reduce your EPR liability and align with broader corporate climate and nature goals.
The cost for the 3-part training is $500. This includes all three live sessions and copies of the materials covered during the sessions.
Registration is required. Interested companies can learn more about the training and register here.
Who should register and attend?
Business professionals from any industry, particularly those from companies that have not yet updated their packaging data or are early in their journey on EPR and need assistance navigating the new EPR laws.
