We are not advisors
We are your compliance team
EPR compliance is not a one-time project. It is an annual cycle of data collection, weight calculation, PRO reporting, RPRA submissions and audit-ready documentation - repeated every year, across every province where you sell. Most companies do not have the in-house expertise to manage it. The large global compliance firms do not have time for mid-market Canadian producers.
Estara was built to fill this exact gap. We become the compliance team you do not have to hire - managing obligations from start to submission, and maintaining the documentation infrastructure that keeps you defensible if RPRA comes knocking.
1
We assess your obligation
We determine whether you are an obligated producer, under which regulations, for which materials and at what threshold - delivered as a formal written opinion.
2
We build your compliance programme
We register you with RPRA and your selected PRO, collect and verify your supply data, and build the documentation infrastructure that meets audit standards
3
We manage it every year
We submit your annual reports, monitor regulatory changes, update your compliance programme, and keep you audit-ready - indefinitely, for a fixed annual retainer
Why Estara?
Commercial Legal Foundation
Every compliance position Estara takes is grounded in a legal reading of the regulation - not a template interpretation. Our founder's commercial law background means your compliance documentation is structured to withstand scrutiny, not just satisfy a checklist.
GRC Methodology
Estara applies a wealth of experience helping companies develop and manage their governance, risk and compliance frameworks to EPR compliance.
Your obligations are mapped, your controls documented and your risk position is tracked using the same rigorously developed and maintained methodology regulated businesses and government organizations use for any material compliance obligation.
Canadian Specialist
We do not manage EPR obligations in 40 countries. We manage EPR obligations in Canada. We know the RPRA registry, the PRO landscape, the Federal Plastics Registry, and the provincial frameworks that most consultants treat as footnotes
End to End Compliance
Once you become a client, you are onboarded to our platform, MyEstara. This platform enables you to view and manage the status of all your EPR obligations and sends you notifications and updates relevant to your organisation.
