EPR Services for Retail Chains
Nationwide EPR compliance for multi-store retail operations
Overview
Retail chains with multiple stores face EPR obligations for both products sold under private labels and operational packaging. We provide centralized EPR management across your retail network.
EPR Requirements for Retail Chains
Private Label EPR
Register as brand owner for all products sold under your store brand(s) — food, apparel, home goods, personal care, etc.
Store Operations Packaging
Manage EPR for operational packaging: shopping bags, product protection wrapping, and packaging used in store operations.
Multi-location Waste Collection
Establish packaging waste collection systems across all retail locations, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Supplier Coordination
Work with private label manufacturers and co-packers to clarify EPR responsibilities and obtain packaging data.

- High private label SKU count across multiple product categories

Success Story
A national retail chain with 250 stores and 300+ private label SKUs across food and non-food was non-compliant with EPR. We registered their entire private label portfolio, implemented waste collection at 180 high-volume stores, negotiated EPR responsibility sharing with 12 co-packers (reducing compliance burden by 40%), and procured remaining certificates at optimized rates. Achieved 100% compliance while integrating EPR into their sustainability reporting for investor communications.
