The EPR Supplier Data Collection Playbook

Cut 2–4 Weeks From Your Data Collection Timeline Before the May 31, 2026 Deadline

One brand reached out to 200+ suppliers. After two months, 60% responded. Of that 60%, only half the data was usable.

Sound familiar?

The supplier data gap is the biggest time sink in EPR compliance. Specs get called "proprietary." Data arrives in formats that don't match state requirements. One film supplier ghosts you and your entire report stalls.

May 31 is the EPR deadline for 6 states. This playbook helps you get there.

What's inside:

  • How to send requests suppliers actually respond to (hint: stop sending blank spreadsheets)
  • Identifying critical-path suppliers before they become bottlenecks
  • Escalation strategies that work, including when to go C-suite to C-suite
  • Building your master packaging database once and mapping it to every state
  • What to do when a supplier says "that's proprietary"
  • The 8-week sprint from first outreach to locked submission

You’ll get field-tested strategies that come from working with 100+ US brands on multi-state.
