US Packaging EPR, Handled
Seven US states now make brands pay for the packaging they ship: Oregon, Colorado, California, Washington, Minnesota, Maryland, and Maine. Penalties for ignoring the programs run up to $25,000 a day in Oregon and $50,000 a day in California. Producer Ready reads your orders, works out where you likely have to register, report, and pay, and keeps the numbers ready before every deadline.

Producer Ready Core
Tonnage is the number every program bills on, and the one most brands cannot produce when asked. Record what each product ships in, once. Producer Ready multiplies it by units sold in each state and keeps the totals current. Weigh once, reuse everywhere.
