Sustamize x ForSURE: Building the Data Foundation for Smarter EPR and Environmental Compliance

Automated EPR Compliance: The First Step Toward Smarter Sustainability Reporting

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has become acritical element of corporate sustainability, and a major challenge for companies. From packaging to electronics and textiles, EPR requires producers to take financial and organizational responsibility for the end-of-life phase of their products. However, the patchwork of national legislations across Europe and beyond makes compliance increasingly complex. Each regulation demands different data formats, classifications, and calculation rules, creating a significant reporting burden.

This is where ForSURE steps in: the platform automates EPR reporting for SMEs and corporates, enabling companies to comply with local waste management obligations effortlessly. By standardizing and simplifying the submission of product and packaging data, ForSURE helps organizations save time, avoid costly errors, and ensure full legal compliance.

But automation alone isn’t enough. To truly scale EPR reporting and other sustainability disclosures, companies need accurate, verified product data — and that’s where sustamize comes in.

Sustamize: The Verified CO₂e Data Backbone for Reliable EPR and ESG Reporting

Sustamize provides one of the world’s largest verified CO₂e databases, continuously updated twice a year and verified according to ISO 14067 and GHG standards. This comprehensive database serves as a trusted foundation for sustainability reporting, carbon accounting, and EPR compliance. While EPR focuses primarily on product weights, material compositions, and end-of-life responsibilities, the broader sustainability landscape increasingly demands accurate data on carbon emissions, resource intensity, and lifecycle impacts. Sustamize bridges this gap by offering:

• Verified, high-quality and dynamic CO₂e data: providing accurate environmental metrics and carbon footprint insights across global supply chains.
• Scalable Data-as-a-Service architecture: allowing seamless integration with platforms like ForSURE for automated compliance workflows.
• Transparency and traceability: each dataset is backed by methodological documentation and source references to meet audit and verification requirements.
• Regulatory readiness: sustamize data supports alignment with upcoming frameworks such as CSRD, CBAM, and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), ensuring companies stay ahead of compliance demands.

Together, sustamize and ForSURE form a complementary ecosystem:

ForSURE automates the EPR reporting process, helping companies manage packaging and waste compliance efficiently and reliably. Sustamize complements this with a verified CO₂e data foundation, ensuring that every reported figure is credible, consistent, and regulation-proof. The verified carbon data can be applied across different business areas and reporting processes, creating transparency and alignment throughout the organization. ForSURE and sustamize address two essential aspects of sustainability: efficient EPR compliance and trusted CO₂e data. Their complementary focus empowers companies to manage regulatory obligations and environmental impact with greater accuracy and confidence.

From Compliance to Confidence

Inaccurate or incomplete product data doesn’t just risk non-compliance, it threatens the integrity of a company’s sustainability strategy. Over- or underestimating product impacts can lead to misinformed business decisions, financial misallocations, and reputational risks. Regulators increasingly require traceable data sources to validate environmental claims, and companies unable to substantiate their numbers face growing scrutiny.

Reliable data and automated reporting processes are no longer optional, they are prerequisites for meeting regulatory requirements and achieving credible sustainability outcomes. When companies pair automated compliance processes with verified, high-quality CO₂e data, every figure — from packaging weight to carbon footprint — becomes a driver of transparency, informed decision-making, and measurable impact.

Rising Regulatory Pressure: The Shift Toward Data-Driven Environmental Compliance

Across Europe, EPR regulations are tightening — covering new product categories and requiring more granular, digital reporting. At the same time, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU Green Deal are pushing companies to disclose their environmental footprints more transparently. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) will further link products with verified environmental data, making traceability and data accuracy a must-have rather than a nice-to-have.

This convergence means that EPR reporting can no longer be viewed in isolation, it is now part of an interconnected ecosystem of ESG reporting, carbon accounting, and lifecycle data management. Sustamize’s verified datasets and standardized methodologies provide the data infrastructure needed to link these domains, empowering solutions like ForSURE to deliver complete, transparent, and regulation-ready reporting.
