This is your essential first step to understanding EPR. It’s a rapid, focused consultation designed to provide an immediate, high-level overview of EPR’s potential impact on your business. We’ll help you quickly identify immediate compliance requirements and introduce how Diversion Strategies can support you.

Tier 2: The EPR Impact Briefing

Moving beyond general awareness, this tier provides a more personalized and detailed understanding of how EPR specifically impacts your business. It gives you crucial clarity without requiring a deep data review upfront. During this 45-60 minute personalized consultation, we deliver a high level summary of EPR’s impact on your business. You’ll receive a concise (1-2 page) EPR Readiness Scorecard/Impact Summary outlining key findings, general risks, and relevant state laws,.
