unPacked: Base Camp to May 31

The May 31 EPR Summit is 4 weeks away.

Six states. One deadline. We've read and absorbed all the regs so you don't have to start from scratch.

If you're managing packaging compliance for your brand, this is the final stretch.

The CAA portal is open. California regulations are taking effect. Reports are due across Oregon, Colorado, California, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington on the same day.

CAA hasn't granted formal extensions, and while enforcement specifics are still being clarified by the states, the smartest move is to plan on hitting the deadline.

If you're still figuring out how to get your data clean, what to prioritize, or how fees actually work, you're not alone.

This is the tactical, in-the-weeds conversation every producer needs right now with practical answers, real examples, and the details that help you move your reporting forward.

What we're covering:

• The 40-day climb to May 31 — what to prioritize, what to let go, and how to triage if you're behind
• A six-state TLDR (what's due May 31, quirks per state, and where we're seeing brands get stuck)
• Fee forecasting + CAA bonus/malus mechanism
• California deep-dive (pre-requisite chain, five source reduction pathways)
• NEW: A live walkthrough of the rePurpose platform with Alyssa, Head of Product
• The 3-week compression plan and how to take 3 months of work and compress it into 3 weeks
• What comes after May 31 (because the summit isn't the end of the trek)
• A bonus 30-minute Office Hours. Come off mute, ask anything, no recording.

Whether you're on track, behind, or just trying to figure out where to start, this session is built for you. Bring your messiest questions. Bring your team. We've made this climb with 100+ brands and we know where people get stuck.

Who should attend:

Sustainability leads, packaging directors, regulatory and compliance teams, operations and supply chain leads, and anyone building the source reduction plan for their company.

You don't have to summit alone.
