Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation is expanding rapidly across the United States, reshaping how companies manage, collect, and report packaging data. As states like California, Colorado, and Oregon introduce data-intensive EPR programs, organizations are facing growing pressure to align internal teams, suppliers, and systems around consistent, auditable information.
To support this shift, the Sustainable Packaging Data Council (SPDC) has developed a standardized U.S. EPR data requirements framework. Built through cross-industry collaboration, this guidance clarifies the product-, component-, and sales-level data needed for compliance, streamlines supplier data collection, and helps companies prepare for evolving EPR reporting obligations across multiple states.

“Cross-functional teams will now need to create new ways of working. For example, packaging taxes pose a unique challenge in that the data required is not traditional finance or tax accounting data. This will require coordination of different functions and systems of record to gather and maintain the data for ongoing reporting.”
