Strengthening environmental compliance and EPR support
UL Solutions announces it is expanding its environmental compliance and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) capabilities through the acquisition of Evnia, on July 31, 2026. Recognized for its expertise in EPR management and environmental compliance services across North America, Evnia helps manufacturers and brand owners manage complex EPR obligations, reporting requirements and compliance programs.
With more than 20 years of experience in EPR regulatory intelligence, advisory services and software, Evnia enhances the UL Solutions portfolio and strengthens our ability to support customers in this domain. Together, we can help organizations navigate evolving sustainability, packaging and product stewardship regulations with greater confidence and efficiency.
Why does EPR matter?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations shift responsibility for packaging waste and end-of-life materials to producers, manufacturers and retailers. While product compliance focuses on what is inside a product, EPR regulations address the environmental impact of packaging through reporting, recycling and compliance requirements.
As EPR regulations continue to expand across the United States and Canada, organizations face growing reporting obligations and compliance challenges. UL Solutions and Evnia are combining their expertise to help companies navigate these evolving requirements.

Customers can benefit from the combined strengths of UL Solutions and Evnia, including:
- Expanded expertise in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance and reporting.

- Alignment between EPR reporting needs and product compliance data management.
- Greater access to compliance resources, regulatory insights and industry expertise.
- A trusted partner that can help simplify increasingly complex regulatory obligations.
Connecting EPR to the bigger compliance picture
As environmental, product and sustainability regulations become increasingly interconnected, organizations are looking for more efficient ways to manage compliance.
The addition of Evnia strengthens UL Solutions' ability to support customers across:
- EPR readiness and reporting
- Environmental compliance programs
- Sustainability initiatives
- Product compliance requirements
- Retail compliance programs
- Supply chain transparency objectives
Together, these capabilities provide a more integrated approach to managing compliance and sustainability requirements.
