EPR Requirements for E-commerce Companies
Platform vs Seller EPR Clarity
Determine EPR obligations: marketplace facilitators vs individual sellers, and private label products vs third-party brands.
Logistics Packaging EPR

Private Label Registration

Multi-state Operations
Comply with EPR across multiple states and fulfillment centers with varying waste management infrastructure.
Common EPR Challenges
- Determining EPR responsibility between platform and sellers
- High volume of secondary packaging (logistics materials) creating large EPR obligations
- Rapidly changing product catalog making SKU tracking difficult
- Managing EPR for private labels while ensuring seller compliance
- Coordinating waste collection across distributed fulfillment network
- Balancing customer experience (protective packaging) with EPR costs
