Syntera organizes and maintains your packaging data, supplier evidence, reporting calendar, customer-approved assumptions, and reporting workpapers—so your authorized team can review and submit through a clear, repeatable process.
You retain decision and approval authority. Syntera keeps the agreed operational work moving.
Founding-client pilot: Eligibility, capacity, written scope and approved file transfer are confirmed before payment or source-file intake. The assessment checkout and source-file upload are not yet open.

Packaging information is often scattered across product files, supplier emails, specification sheets, invoices, and employee knowledge. Product catalogs change. State-sales data lives somewhere else. Reporting instructions and fee schedules change over time.
The Syntera Packaging EPR Desk gives that recurring work a controlled operating system. It is not a black-box compliance claim. It is an organized, reviewable body of data and evidence your company can use in its reporting process.
Structured product, SKU, component, material, and weight records built from customer- and supplier-provided electronic data.
Supporting documents connected to the applicable packaging records, with source and status made visible.
Missing, uncertain, or unverified data plus documented assumptions and customer decisions tracked in one place.
An operating calendar for customer-identified programs, using generally published dates checked on the agreed cadence.
Aggregated state-sales inputs, preliminary fee estimates with stated assumptions, and filing-input packages for customer review.
Controlled updates and comparison with the prior customer-approved dataset so the next cycle does not start from zero.
Consumer-product brands, manufacturers, importers, and private-label businesses managing dozens or hundreds of SKUs through lean finance, operations, sustainability, or compliance teams.
The founding-client pilot supports operational preparation for California, Colorado, and Oregon only. Your company or adviser must identify the programs and legal entities to include.
This is not legal counsel, material testing, packaging measurement, a producer-status opinion, portal administration, or an outsourced certification and filing service.
Syntera does not infer legal applicability from sales data. Work involving another jurisdiction requires a separate written scope.
Review a defined catalog sample, customer-declared sales footprint, available packaging records, supplier relationships, and current workflow.
Structure customer- and supplier-provided electronic product, component, material, weight, and evidence records.
Place missing records and unresolved assumptions into a visible register, then prepare standardized source-request lists.
Organize approved inputs and prepare preliminary calculation workbooks or exports using published methods and customer-approved assumptions.
Your authorized team resolves discrepancies, approves the package, enters or uploads data, certifies, submits, corresponds, and pays.
Where included in an agreed reporting-cycle scope, the Packaging EPR Desk budget bridge connects your approved component records and state-supply data to a dated 2027 budget scenario. It keeps California's preliminary weight and component charges separate, uses the published Colorado and Oregon final rates, and compares the annual budget with the actual invoice records you provide. Missing inputs and unresolved approvals remain visible.
Your team approves the reporting population, classifications, assumptions and account-specific adjustments. The bridge supports preparation and review; actual invoices, payment terms, submissions and payments remain under your authorized team's control. Washington requires separate written scope. Existing prices, credit conditions and intake requirements remain unchanged.
Source basis: CAA's October 1, 2026 schedules. California source review: October 14, 2026. CAA submitted its revised California plan on October 13 for CalRecycle review. California rates remain preliminary, and invoice timing requires reconciliation with approved program or account instructions before customer cash planning. The bridge remains a separate Desk workpaper; it is not included in the $299 self-service kit.
Every engagement is subject to an eligibility screen and written scope. Source records must be provided in the agreed electronic templates.

| Reporting-Cycle Package For Core or Growth customers |
From $750 per program/cycle |
One customer-approved dataset, calculation workbook or filing-input export, supporting evidence index, and one customer review round. Portal entry and submission are excluded. |
Excess volume, additional entities or jurisdictions, extra update batches or review rounds, historical cleanup, and custom formats require a separate written scope. Government, producer-responsibility organization, registration, legal, and third-party fees are not included.
The $495 assessment price is credited toward EPR Desk setup when an eligible customer signs the setup agreement within 30 days. The $299 self-service kit remains a separate product. Credits do not stack.
At the listed $349 monthly Core price, 12 months is $4,188. Adding setup of $1,500–$3,000 and one reporting-cycle package starting at $750 produces a first-year subtotal starting at $6,438–$7,938. This example assumes one program and one cycle. A $495 assessment credited toward setup adds no separate assessment charge when the stated credit conditions are met. Additional programs, scope, government/PRO and third-party fees are separate; final pricing requires written scope.

No. Syntera can organize information relevant to that determination, but your company or legal counsel must decide which entities, products, jurisdictions, and programs apply.
No. Syntera prepares the agreed calculation workbook or filing-input export, evidence index, and review package from customer-approved inputs. Your authorized representative administers the account, enters or uploads data, certifies, submits, corresponds, and pays.
Typically: product and SKU records, packaging specifications, component weights, supplier documentation, aggregated sales by state and reporting period, brand and entity information, and prior registrations or reports. Consumer-level transaction records and consumer personal information are not accepted.
Syntera records the gap, identifies the needed source, prepares a standardized request list, and tracks only the reminder rounds included in the plan. Your company obtains the source information and approves any permitted estimation method before use.
No. Estimates are preliminary arithmetic using customer-approved inputs and an identified publicly available fee schedule or methodology as of a stated date. Actual program invoices may differ.
The founding-client version is a managed operational service supported by structured data tools and documented workflows. It combines automation with human-controlled decisions.
Yes. Syntera can maintain the operational record and implement documented decisions provided by your internal team or professional advisers.
Start with a defined sample review of your existing data, evidence gaps, and reporting workflow.
Syntera Systems provides data-management, documentation, workflow, and administrative support using customer- and supplier-provided electronic records. Syntera does not measure or test packaging, independently verify evidence, classify materials, reconstruct missing source data, provide legal advice, determine legal applicability or producer status, use customer portal credentials, certify customer data, submit reports, correspond with programs on the customer’s behalf, or guarantee compliance, acceptance, deadlines, or fee amounts. Customers remain responsible for source-data accuracy, legal and classification decisions, registrations, approvals, certifications, submissions, account-specific notices, correspondence, and payments. Generally published dates are checked only for named programs and on the cadence stated in the agreement. Requirements and program guidance may change, and customer delays pause dependent delivery dates. All services are subject to a written scope of work and data-handling terms.
