Services
I help brands navigate packaging compliance and sustainability with personalized guidance.
Most popular services include:
Regulatory & Strategic
EPR: Liability Assessments
EPR regulations are live in seven U.S. states and across Canadian provinces — and every single one has different thresholds, exemptions, and definitions of who actually has to report.
I review your product catalog, sales channels, revenue, and geographic footprint to determine exactly where you have reporting obligations and where you don't.
The result is a clear picture of your liability before you spend time and money on anything else.
EPR: Building Packaging Databases
Once we know where you're liable, it's time to collect the data for covered materials you must report. I work directly with and on behalf of your team to identify every regulated material across your product line — by weight, material type, tier, and function — and build a structured database that maps those materials to your sales volumes by state.
The deliverable is a clean, reusable dataset that slots into your existing systems and becomes the foundation for every future EPR report.
EPR: Data Assessment & Getting Report-Ready
With your data in hand, I guide you through registering with PROs, translate your materials and sales data into the required report format, walk you through your final volumes and projected fees, and get everything submitted.
Once reporting is complete, I help you analyze and understand which materials are driving your costs — so you can make smarter packaging decisions that reduce your fees over time.
Truth in Labelling Artwork Guidance
California's SB 343 sets new rules for which packaging can actually carry the chasing-arrows recycling symbol — meaning brands need to take a fresh look at their labels to make sure they're still in compliance.
I advise on accurate language and claims to communicate your product and packaging's unique attributes, while keeping you on the right side of the law.
Beyond Compliance
Circular Packaging Design
Increasing circularity across your packaging suite, designing for recyclability, and quantifying your impact from the initial packaging design.
Sustainability & Circularity
Consulting
Paper or plastic? Recyclable or compostable? Plastic free or marine-biodegradable?

There is a lot of noise in the sustainable packaging space. As an expert (and scientist) I'll help you understand your options, and the best strategies to actually reach your goals.

​
I have direct experience in setting up, managing, and getting audit-ready for some of the most common packaging certifications, including FSC®, GRS, and RCS.
Reaching ESG & Packaging Goals
Many brands have developed and stated their sustainable packaging goals publicly. Many are also struggling to meet them.
