3R Sustainability

With the California Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) deadline approaching on November 15, 2025, now’s a great time to check if your business needs to comply. If you’re a for-profit company selling packaged products in California, earning over $1M in state revenue, and involved in packaging decisions or shipping, you might be an obligated producer.   At 3R Sustainability, we’re here to support our clients with EPR compliance. Our team can help with everything from assessing your obligations to collecting data and submitting reports on time. Have questions or need support? Reach out and we’ll connect you with one of our EPR specialists. 👉 Contact us here https://lnkd.in/gT9B8DPj or message us to connect before the deadline.   #Sustainability #CaliforniaEPR #ExtendedProducerResponsibility

Do I know anyone attending Trellis Impact 2025 (Verge, Bloom and GreenFin)? If so, please reach out, as I will be there representing 3R Sustainability along with my colleagues Gina MacIlwraith, MBA, SEP and Jana D. Lake and would love to connect while there and discuss all things climate and sustainability. Specifically, I am interested in chatting about scope 3 emissions reduction, climate and/or biodiversity risk and reporting and nature-based solutions. Thanks!

⭐ Client Success Story ⭐ Building upon years of partnership, 3R was well-positioned to assist our client with their sustainability report, which included:  - Reporting in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)  - Disclosing the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB) industry metrics  - And incorporating the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S2 Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Impact ⚙️ The client’s Sustainability Report was shared internally across their approximately 170 locations in the U.S. and externally through publication on their website. Internally, the report served as an employee engagement tool. Externally, the report is being utilized to demonstrate their sustainability commitments and performance and will serve as a key piece of evidence for their upcoming EcoVadis submission. Prepare for 2026 💡 Are you wondering what standards your business should report to? 3R is here to guide you through the evolving regulatory landscape and support you with getting the most out of your reporting efforts.

Read our new blog post 💡 As sustainability becomes a priority, businesses face growing demands from consumers, regulators, and stakeholders to quantify and reduce environmental impacts for the products they produce and sell, moving beyond general estimates towards specific footprints of products. Terms like Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) are often confused, but each serves a unique purpose. Our recent post by Christina Fontanesi and Fraiser Opel, MBA, is a guide to these terms that explains what each is, their differences, and when/why they’re essential, drawing from industry standards to help businesses across sectors make informed decisions.
