Unwrapping EPR: Turning Compliance into Competitive Advantage

How are companies using EPR to drive source reduction and packaging optimization? Which capabilities will define EPR leaders in the next 2–3 years?

EPR fees and eco‑modulation are creating real financial pressure—and leading companies are turning that pressure into a catalyst for packaging redesign. This panel shows how companies are translating EPR requirements into practical action, using source reduction and eco-modulation as strategic levers. We will discuss data confidence, ownership and accountability challenges, and how source‑reduction pathways are prioritized amid growth pressures and capital constraints. We will also examine the capabilities that will distinguish EPR leaders over the next few years: automation, data integrity, proactive regulatory monitoring, stronger cross‑functional integration and value‑chain collaboration.
