California Packaging EPR, Made Manageable for Small Wineries
A step-by-step program to gather your packaging data, calculate your weights, and file correctly, without hiring a $10,000 consultant.
You weren't invited to The party, but you still have to bring a gift.
California's packaging EPR law has been in the works for years. The big wineries already handle similar programs for Europe, so it barely made headlines. Most small wineries never heard a word, and now you're expected to file.
Your 2026 numbers are due by the end of May. The penalties are real, and the time to get organized is now.
What's inside the program
- A workbook built for wineries: SKUs, packaging components, and sales by state in one consistent format
- An SOP that helps you identify the right material IDs (a winery typically uses fewer than 10 of the 95)
- Guidance for primary, secondary and tertiary packaging, including library vintages
- A final report ready to enter on the official filing site
- Optional done-for-you analysis if you'd rather not do the spreadsheet work
Built by someone who's doing the filing
This program grew out of real EPR filings for real wineries. It's designed around how wineries actually work, with vintages, long-aged inventory and tiny plastic footprints, not how global manufacturers work.
Winery-specific: handles multi-vintage SKUs and aging inventory.
Plain English: strict regulatory terms, translated.
Fraction of the cost: priced for small producers, not corporations.
