H2 Compliance, a leading global provider of chemical and product environmental compliance services, is proud to announce its new status as a Champion Partner of the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI).
Through this strategic partnership, H2 Compliance joins a collaborative network of businesses, government agencies, and environmental organizations dedicated to reducing waste, increasing recycling, and implementing innovative Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies across the United States.
As the global manufacturing sector accounts for approximately 20% of annual greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a circular economy is more critical than ever. PSI, a non-profit policy expert that has helped enact 146 EPR laws across 21 product categories, identifies EPR as the “bedrock” of this transition. By joining forces, H2 Compliance and PSI aim to streamline the path for producers to manage their products responsibly from design to end-of-life.
“Becoming a Champion Partner of PSI allows us to be at the forefront of the product stewardship movement in the U.S.,” said Iva Lea Aurer, Senior Environmental Compliance Manager, at CGlobal, the EPR consulting division of H2 Compliance. “We look forward to sharing our expertise and collaborating with other key players to find sustainable, scalable solutions for the modern waste crisis.”
Strengthening the Circular Economy
H2 Compliance’s entry into the PSI network comes at a pivotal moment. As landmark packaging and textile EPR laws roll out in states like California, Oregon, and Colorado, businesses face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
By participating in PSI’s unique consensus-building process, H2 Compliance leverages technical expertise to bridge the gap between policy and practical implementation. CGlobal specializes in converting fragmented North American regulatory complexity into a single, unified compliance strategy. Our services provide:
- Strategic Gap Analysis: Identifying current exposure and compliance obligations across all 21 product categories and the evolving requirements in various U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
- Unified Data Aggregation: Streamlining the intensive data collection process, including material type, weight, and sales volume, required for accurate reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
- Policy & Implementation Support: Assisting in the development of effective EPR laws that reflect the needs of diverse stakeholders while ensuring they are operationally feasible for producers.
- Circular Innovation: Helping businesses find new, innovative ways to circulate materials at their highest value, minimizing pollution and strengthening the emerging circular economy.
