We are not advisors.
We are your fractional compliance team
EPR compliance isn't a one-time project; It's an unforgiving annual cycle of tracing material weights, verifying supply chains, submitting PRO reports and building audit-ready infrastructure. Most mid-market producers lack the internal compliance department required to manage it safely, while global consulting firms treat Canadian regulations as a footnote.​
​
Estara was built to bridge this gap. We step in as your dedicated compliance back-office, taking your business from data chaos to bulletproof regulatory standings for a predictable, fixed annual retainer.
Our 3-Step Framework
1
We assess your obligation
We analyze your supply chain to determine exactly where you are an obligated producer. Under which provincial or federal regulations and at what weight thresholds - delivered as a formal compliance report
2
We build your compliance programme
We register your business with regulatory bodies like RPRA and your selected PRO Execute physical and digital data audits and construct a compliance program that easily meet relevant audit standards
3
We manage it every year
We handle your ongoing data collection, submit your annual reports, monitor shifting eco-modulation rules and defend your business against audits - all managed through our centralized platform, MyEstara.
