UL Solutions Expands Capabilities to Help Companies Navigate Growing Packaging and Sustainability Regulations
Enhanced solutions from recent acquisition combine regulatory expertise, data and software to address evolving packaging and sustainability requirements.
UL Solutions is enhancing its extended producer responsibility capabilities to help companies navigate increasingly complex packaging, sustainability and product stewardship regulations.
The recent acquisition of Evnia adds nearly two decades of extended producer responsibility experience in regulatory monitoring, reporting and technology-enabled advisory services across Canada and the United States.
By combining regulatory expertise, advisory services, software-enabled data insights and packaging testing and verification, UL Solutions aims to simplify compliance, improve transparency and help customers stay ahead of regulatory change.
NORTHBROOK, Ill., October 21, 2026--UL Solutions Inc., a global leader in applied safety science, today announced the expansion of its extended producer responsibility (EPR) capabilities to help companies manage an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape tied to packaging, sustainability and product stewardship.
To support customers in this environment, UL Solutions is expanding its EPR offerings through enhanced advisory services, regulatory intelligence and software-enabled data insights. Together, these capabilities help companies understand applicable requirements, report the right data and determine the appropriate fees, providing greater confidence that they are effectively managing their EPR obligations.
This expansion includes the recent acquisition of Evnia, a Montreal-based provider of EPR services in Canada and the United States. Evnia brings nearly two decades of experience helping organizations manage environmental obligations through regulatory monitoring, reporting and technology-enabled advisory services.
"With EPR requirements expanding globally, this is a pressing business reality for companies operating around the world," said John Genovesi, executive vice president and president of Risk and Compliance Software at UL Solutions. "Organizations are looking for trusted experts who can help them navigate this increased responsibility for how they package their products and what happens to the waste after the product is consumed."
EPR regulations are transforming how manufacturers, retailers and consumer-facing brands manage the life cycle of their products. These requirements hold producers accountable for the environmental impact of packaging and materials, including recycling, reporting and compliance obligations. While traditional product compliance focuses on what is inside a product, EPR shifts the focus to what surrounds it and what happens to the packaging after use.
