We prepare your EPR reports.You see every number.

RRS prepares and reviews your state EPR reports from your own data. Open any number in EPR Buddy.

RRS consultants turn your packaging and sales data into state EPR reports, review every material and fee, and keep the evidence ready for an audit. Your team works in EPR Buddy, the CloudBuddy platform, and can open any number.

What RRS takes off your plate

One team for your EPR obligations, from first question to filed report.

  • Know where you owe

    RRS confirms which states apply to you, including thresholds, exemptions, and small-producer paths, and keeps every deadline on a dated calendar with its source.

  • File every state on time

    Each state report is prepared from your own data and reviewed by an RRS consultant before the filing window closes.

  • Defend the numbers, then lower them

    Every fee keeps its source rows, material mapping, and published rate for an audit. Packaging scenarios show what next year’s choices would cost.

How it works

A clear path from first call to filed report.

You keep the decisions. RRS does the heavy lifting, and the platform keeps every step on the record.

Fee reduction study

See what next year’s packaging would cost before you change it.

RRS models packaging changes, such as a lighter component or a different material, against each state’s rates and shows the fee effect state by state. Results are labeled as planning estimates until the change is real and reported.

  • Dashboards for your whole team
  • An evidence packet for every report

Questions

What producers ask first.

Anything else? Send us your question.

Who files the report?

Your company stays the filer of record with the producer responsibility organization. RRS prepares and reviews each report and works through the submission with you.

What do you need from us?

Sales or shipment data by state, the packaging specifications you have (components, materials, and weights), and answers to a short set of questions. We start from your existing exports, not a template.

Do we have to report in every state?

Not necessarily. Thresholds, exemptions, and small-producer paths differ by state. The readiness check confirms which states apply to you.

How long does the first year take?

It depends on your data and your states. The readiness check gives you a timeline and a fixed quote before you commit.

What happens when rules or rates change?

RRS tracks each program and its producer responsibility organization. When rates or rules change, reports for the states in your program are recalculated and you can see what changed.

Can our team do part of the work?

Yes. Choose Managed, Co-managed, or Reviewed depending on how much of the work your team wants to own.

Is our data used to train AI models?

No. EPR Buddy’s built-in AI runs on Amazon Bedrock, which does not use your data to train models, and fee calculations never depend on AI. If you connect your own Claude, it follows your organization’s Claude data settings.
