Hello Acumatica:

I’m writing to inquire and discuss what companies are doing to capture data which is required, and will be required in states where EPR, Extended Producer Responsibility is being discussed.  Peerless-AV is beginning a study of what products we will need to report on all of our packaging, where it is being sold, and what our cost for compliance will be in each state.  

One question is, what is Acumatica researching as far as solutions for EPR.  A second question is, how are companies handling this today?

My understanding of the requirement is, the material that makes up our packaging will need to be broken down into the materials that fall under the requirement.  Then, based on how much of these materials are used in packaging a particular item, we will need to extend that to a project cost we will have to pay the governing body based on how much we ship to any particular state.

Here is a website that discusses the regulations:

Is anyone else currently reviewing this requirement, or planning a reporting solution within Acumatica?
