The Economics

Compliance is a line item.
Non-compliance is a liability.

EPR penalties are statutory maximums, not automatic fines — but a single missed or late filing turns an unbudgeted, open-ended exposure into a real cost.

COST OF NON-COMPLIANCE
  • California (SB 54) up to $50,000 per day
  • Minnesota up to $100,000 per day
  • Other active states up to $25,000 per day
Plus backfill of past-due filings, CAA verification audits, and reactive remediation — scoped after the fact.
COST OF COMPLIANCE WITH ORBITLEX
from $12,000 per year
Fixed, SKU-tiered pricing — budgetable and predictable.
All active EPR states covered.

For most brands, a single missed filing carries more exposure than years of managed compliance.
The point isn't fear — compliance is a small, predictable cost you can plan; non-compliance is an open-ended one you can't.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. If you already know your brand is covered under EPR, you can start directly at Step 2 (EPR Compliance Blueprint). The Free Status Check is for brands who aren't yet certain of their obligations.

Regulatory intelligence platforms map which regulations apply to your products and monitor changes — they tell you what to do. Orbitlex actually does the work: we operate the PRO and state portals, prepare every filing ready to submit and confirm the deadline with you in advance, handle PRO and state-agency correspondence, apply trade-secret designations to sensitive packaging data, and handle backfill / reconstruction when records have gaps. Where a program requires the filing to be submitted by your own authorized representative, we hand it over ready and that person submits it.

The two product types are stack-complementary, not stack-substitutive — a sophisticated customer might use both: regulatory intelligence subscription for awareness across the full ESG landscape, and Orbitlex for execution in U.S. packaging EPR. Customers who only need awareness should consider regulatory intelligence subscriptions; customers who want compliance handled completely should engage Orbitlex.

Your Free Status Check identifies past-due filing obligations. From there, the EPR Compliance Blueprint (Step 2) maps the full scope — including backfill requirements — so you enter Managed (Step 4) with a clear picture of what's needed and at what cost. Managed EPR Compliance includes one past-due backfill cycle — where a cycle = one reporting year across all obligated states. Prepay the full Term and the inclusion matches the Term length (a 2-year Term = 2 reporting years of past-due covered across all your states); on annual or monthly billing, one cycle is included whatever the Term length. Full-Term prepayment means paying the whole Term up front, which is not the same as the Annual billing option. Past-due remediation beyond the included cycles is priced per state filing ($1,000–$2,500 by state complexity).

Active programs: California, Oregon, Colorado, Maine, Washington, Minnesota, and Maryland — seven states with live EPR obligations. Managed EPR Compliance covers all active states as a single SKU-tiered subscription — no per-state add-on. Coverage automatically extends as new EPR states go live.

Managed EPR Compliance is offered on a 1, 2, or 3-year Term. The rate is locked at the SKU-tier price for the full Term — no annual increase during the Term. Customers who prepay the full Term also receive matched past-due backfill inclusion (1 cycle per Term year, where a cycle = one reporting year across all obligated states). A 3-year Term prepaid in full, for example, includes 3 reporting years of past-due covered across all your states; on annual or monthly billing one cycle is included.

If a state filing deadline is missed due to Orbitlex error (not delayed client data or supplier inputs), we cover the remediation work for that filing at no additional cost — including any state remediation fees if applicable. This commitment is built into Managed EPR Compliance terms and applies for the full Term length.

Software tools assemble packaging data into reports — but the data work (supplier outreach, classification, weight verification, deadline tracking, exception handling) stays with your team. Orbitlex executes the operational work end-to-end and delivers filed compliance, not a tool. For brands that already have packaging data infrastructure and ops capacity, software can work. For brands that don't (most), the data work is the actual bottleneck — and that's what we operate.

If your confirmed packaging scope (post-intake) is materially smaller than your initial tier — for example, fewer SKUs than estimated, or fewer covered packaging components — we adjust the price down to the appropriate tier. The intent is to charge for the actual work performed, not the initial estimate. Mid-Term tier downgrades are reviewed at renewal; significant material reductions can trigger mid-Term adjustment proactively.
