Circular economy advisory
EPR legislation is reshaping what brands can sell, what manufacturers can produce, and where materials have to come from. Upya Group helps you navigate it — connecting you with GRS-certified manufacturers and building the supply chain infrastructure your sustainability commitments require.
Extended producer responsibility laws in the US, EU, and East Africa are moving fast. We help brands and manufacturers understand their obligations, map their exposure, and build procurement strategies that satisfy regulatory scrutiny — before deadlines arrive.
We give brands direct access to GRS-certified, PCR-compliant manufacturers they wouldn't find on their own. Whether you're sourcing packaging, film, or finished goods, we identify the right production partners and structure relationships that hold.
For manufacturers looking to access sustainability-focused brands and retailers, we help you pursue GRS certification, position your materials correctly, and reach the customers who need what you produce.
Circular economy participation isn't just sourcing — it's contracts, certification alignment, logistics, and long-term commercial relationships. We build the frameworks that make those partnerships durable.
Recycled content targets are no longer voluntary — they're regulatory and contractual requirements with real deadlines. We help brands source certified, compliant materials from vetted manufacturers, so sustainability commitments become supply chain realities.
The demand for GRS-certified, PCR-compliant production is growing faster than qualified supply. We help manufacturers pursue certification, structure their offering, and reach the brand and retail customers who need compliant feedstock and finished goods.
Material recovery programs generate value — recovered materials, reduced disposal costs, and documented progress toward sustainability targets. We help retailers design and source for circular programs that hold up to audit and stakeholder scrutiny.
Our manufacturer and partner network spans North America, Europe, and East Africa — giving clients access to compliant supply wherever their obligations require it.
