Services to Support Your EPR Journey

Sustainable Solutions Corporation (SSC) helps businesses turn EPR into a strategic opportunity to optimize packaging and reduce costs.

Optimize your Packaging

  1. Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs): A method for evaluating a product’s environmental impacts across its entire life cycle, enabling data-driven decisions that support compliance and product differentiation.

  2. Sustainable Product Innovation (SPI): We embed sustainability into R&D and Stage-Gate processes using practical tools and checklists to standardize sustainability decisions and identify lower-impact materials. This proactive approach reduces compliance risk and minimizes downstream delays.

  3. Design for Environment (DFE) Tool: We help clients turn sustainability goals into actionable design decisions through DFE tools. These tools use LCA data to compare packaging and material scenarios, uncover environmental hotspots, and highlight trade-offs across carbon, recyclability, and cost.

    LCAs are the foundation of your SPI program and the key to helping your product development team reduce environmental impacts.
