THE PROBLEM

Oregon's EPR program charges packaging-intensive brands $50K-$200K+ annually in compliance fees.

Most companies are paying these fees without realizing they can reduce them by 10% or $20K per SKU batch through eco-modulation bonuses.

You need third-party reviewed Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) covering 16+ environmental impact metrics (acidification, eutrophication, plastic leakage—not just carbon), submitted to CAA by May 31, 2026  to realize these savings in 2027.

THE SOLUTION

Planet FWD delivers ISO LCAs in 6 weeks with built-in third-party verification—so you qualify for maximum eco-modulation bonuses while building reusable sustainability data infrastructure.

50% lower than the average consultant price for verified ISO-compliant LCAs

Oregon Has Two
LCA Deadlines

MAY 31, 2026
(OPTIONAL)

Submit LCAs for eco-modulation bonuses
→ Up to $200K in 2027 fee reductions

December 31, 2026
(Required for Top 25)

Mandatory LCA submissions
for Top 25 producers

For Top 25 companies:

Your mandatory top 1% SKU evaluations are required by December 31 — but those LCAs are restricted from Bonus A (simple evaluation/disclosure). They can qualify for Bonuses B and C by demonstrating substantial impact reduction over time.

To capture Bonus A savings, submit LCAs on SKUs outside your mandatory top 1% by May 31. Even if you drop from the list when it updates, qualifying LCAs still earn fee reductions.
