As policymakers respond to a growing global waste challenge, schemes such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Federal Plastics Registries (FPR) are expanding rapidly, bringing new obligations, unfamiliar data demands and rising compliance costs for businesses.

But with the right approach, product stewardship can move beyond compliance to become a source of strategic insight – informing smarter decisions on materials, product design and long‑term cost management.

Join Flag, Circular Materials and Workiva for a practical, insight‑led webinar exploring how organisations are navigating this shift.

We’ll cover:

• the scale of the global waste problem and what’s driving the shift towards product stewardship regulation
• an overview of the key schemes shaping the landscape today, including EPR, FPR and WEEE, and how they vary across jurisdictions
• a closer look at EPR: what it is, who it applies to and what it means for businesses in practice
• insights from a mature EPR market, with lessons from Circular Materials Canada
• common challenges organisations face when managing EPR and how technology can help overcome them
• how leading organisations are looking beyond compliance to unlock material efficiency, cost control and circular design opportunities
• why tackling adjacent product and packaging regulations together, using a uniform product data model, creates long-term value and resilience.
