How to Save Big on EPR Packaging Fees

Over the past few months, I’ve been working behind the scenes. I have been running data and optimizing packaging. I am helping companies unlock hidden profits. As the owner of Topline Statistics LLC, I use advanced analytics. My goal is to drive EPR packaging cost savings for companies facing stricter environmental regulations.

If your company sells packaged goods, the recent push toward sustainable packaging has likely come with a price tag. But with the right data, it doesn’t have to.

Understanding EPR and the True Cost of Packaging

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are shifting the cost of packaging waste back onto manufacturers. That means companies now pay fees based on how recyclable their packaging is. The less recyclable, the higher the fee.

The EPA and state programs are rewarding:

• Clear, single-material packaging
• Fully recyclable labels and caps
• Transparent tracking of packaging components

But here’s the truth: most companies don’t have a full picture of where they’re losing money. That’s where I come in.

How I Drive EPR Packaging Cost Savings

At Topline Statistics, I use structured data and statistical modeling. I help clients reduce their fees. This often involves identifying overlooked opportunities in packaging materials and design. Over the past year alone, I’ve dedicated hundreds of hours to helping companies adapt to new EPR and recycling regulations.

Here’s how I do it:

1. Smart Data Organization

I build databases that track SKUs, weights, materials, and EPR rates across every product. These aren’t just spreadsheets — they’re insight engines.

2. Scenario-Based Cost Modeling

Want to know what happens if you change your bottle, sprayer, or shrink label? I simulate it. You see the cost per pound and the potential fee change before making any packaging updates.

3. Compliance You Can Trust

All materials are checked against the latest EPA 25B lists and recycling categories. I align the data with regulatory guidance so teams can make confident decisions.

4. Executive-Level Reporting

I package the analysis into clear, visual reports. Leadership teams can use these reports to evaluate packaging scenarios quickly and take action.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Packaging regulations are only getting stricter. Companies that delay adjustments to their materials will pay higher fees — not just once, but every quarter.

If you don’t already have a system in place for EPR packaging cost savings, you’re operating in the dark.

A Better Way to Manage Packaging and Compliance

With my statistical approach, companies can:

• Cut EPR fees without sacrificing branding
• Track packaging compliance across SKUs
• Explore cost-effective, sustainable alternatives
• Report results to executives and investors confidently

My work isn’t guesswork. It’s math, modeling, and market awareness — customized for your products.

Work With Topline Statistics

Major consumer brands rely on the databases I’ve built to manage their packaging data. My work includes modeling recycling cost scenarios across multiple packaging types. I also advise on improvements that boost recyclability without major design changes.

Whether you manage a handful of SKUs or a nationwide portfolio, I can assist you. You will get ahead and save big.
