Forced labor risk rarely starts with your direct suppliers.

For electronics manufacturers, the greatest exposure often exists several tiers upstream, where supplier relationships, material sourcing, and labor practices become difficult to verify.

As regulations like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and EU Forced Labor Regulation (EUFLR) raise expectations for traceability, supplier declarations alone are no longer enough. Companies need defensible, audit-ready data that can withstand regulatory scrutiny.

That requires a shift from manual spreadsheets and disconnected workflows to scalable supplier engagement, multi-tier mapping, and continuous validation.

Learn how leading electronics companies are improving supply chain traceability and strengthening compliance programs.

California’s SB 54 packaging EPR regulations are now officially in effect.

On May 1, 2026, the Office of Administrative Law approved California’s permanent regulations for the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act. The law establishes the state’s long-term EPR framework for single-use packaging and plastic food service ware.

Producers selling into California now face major packaging sustainability requirements, including:
• 100% recyclable or compostable packaging by 2032
• 65% recycling rate targets
• 25% reduction requirements for covered plastic packaging

Companies with more than $1 million in California revenue should begin preparing for participation, reporting, and packaging compliance obligations now.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping packaging compliance across global supply chains.

Beginning in August 2026, companies placing packaging on the EU market will need to meet new requirements for:
• Packaging minimization
• Recycled content
• Design for recyclability
• Labeling and CE marking
• Extended producer responsibility (EPR) participation
• Technical file documentation

For many organizations, the biggest challenge is operational readiness. Fragmented packaging data, supplier visibility gaps, and inconsistent systems make compliance difficult to manage at scale.

Our latest blog breaks down what the EU PPWR requires, why most companies are not prepared, and how centralized data and automation can simplify compliance. 🔗 in comments.

🗓 Thursday, May 21, 2026
🕐 2:00 PM CEST and 11:00 AM EDT

We'll cover:
✅ Moving from reactive to proactive chemical risk management
✅ Smarter material decisions earlier in development
✅ Building a scalable system of record for continuous risk monitoring

Global EPR packaging compliance breaks down fast when every market works in isolation.

Arla Foods experienced this firsthand, managing reporting across five European markets using local tools, manual calculations, and spreadsheets. The result was a time-intensive, high-risk process that couldn’t keep pace with regulatory change.

To regain control, Arla needed a centralized approach built for global scale.

See how Arla transformed EPR reporting and saved 1M+ in overpaid packaging fees.

Compliance pressure isn’t slowing down, and it was a major theme at the Chemical Watch Regulatory Summit Europe.

Our team connected with industry leaders and heard a consistent challenge: keeping up with evolving regulations while managing increasing data demands.

At the event, we shared how companies are moving beyond spreadsheets to better organize, track, and report on compliance data with confidence.
