COMPLIANCE GAP ANALYSIS
Does your business supply products to Canada?
Canada has over 70 different provincial Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs. Our compliance gap experts will review all products you supply to the Canadian market to,

• Identify which of your organization’s products are regulated in Canada
• Validate if your organization is filing the appropriate reports

This service is strongly recommended for new organizations entering the Canadian market or for existing companies on a recurring basis. Failure to follow Canadian EPR laws can lead to legal penalties, fines and reputational harm.

REPORTING SERVICES
Our reporting services helps organizations complete product and packaging reports more efficiently and accurately. Based on our clients’ unique needs, this may include,

• Packaging waste audits
• Categorizing material consumption
• Developing calculators customized to your business

Our team will review if your organization can reduce its obligation by excluding packaging that is not disposed of in the residential waste system. In conjunction, we provide an independent review of your existing stewardship reports, methodology and submission results to identify cost-saving opportunities for our clients.  

PACKAGING AUDITS
Packaging reporting requires accurate weighing of components used to protect your products. Most companies do not have the ability or information to provide packaging weight for every product they supply to Canada. Our team of packaging auditors will,

• Review your sales
• Identify products
• Weigh packages
• Analyze your packaging mix

From there, we will derive a solid estimate for packaging that you can supply into the residential market.

PRO SELECTION
Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) compete for business across many Canadian jurisdictions. Companies face many choices when selecting a provider best suited to discharge their EPR obligations.

We advise and guide our clients on these often complex and challenging decisions and provide comprehensive findings to help them make the best decision. These findings can be summarized with different levels of detail, designed to be shared with various stakeholders within an organization.  

VENDOR CHARGE BACKS
Many of our clients request that our experts calculate and file their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reports, and in conjunction with that service, calculate their vendor’s share of these costs.

This service ensures that our client’s vendors bear an accurate cost of managing their own EPR packaging – which, if not done accurately, can significantly affect your organization’s bottom line.  We provide the reports and documentation sent to the vendors explaining the reason for these costs.
