OR, CO & CA packaging EPR: the September 2026 operating picture
Separate CAA participant dates from state filings, see the next official milestones, and focus the work on reproducible totals, faster validation responses, and clean handoffs.
Component-level packaging data: what a defensible supply report is built from
Configurations, components, state-guided material categories, sourced weights, and sales attribution — the record structure that lets every reported total be rebuilt on demand.
The free SPDC template: when it’s enough — and when it isn’t
The Sustainable Packaging Data Council's free US EPR template tells you which fields to fill, and for some producers that is genuinely enough — we say so. What it does not give you: a source document behind every weight, BOM lineage, state sales allocation, or a correction chain.
Every regulatory claim in these guides carries the date it was checked against the linked source. See the methodology behind our data close, or run the Status & Exposure Scanner — in-browser, nothing uploads.
