CIRCULAR INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM

From EPR obligation
to proactive cost advantage.

We connect the regulatory, material, and financial data behind your EPR and ESPR obligations, so compliance drives decisions, not just costs. Know what you owe, close the data gaps that cost you most, and turn obligation into competitive advantage.

Overwhelming requirements.

Producers today face a web of intersecting obligations across materials, fees, design mandates, and data requirements.

Person overwhelmed by regulatory requirements
  • Sourcing costs, material fees, and supplier negotiations tied to regulatory thresholds.
  • State-by-state producer responsibility fee calculations across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Design-for-circularity mandates and product sustainability requirements.
  • Traceability data requirements across an expanding set of jurisdictions.

A regulatory wave is building.

Platform

Circular Intelligence

One platform connects the regulatory, material, and financial pictures behind your EPR and ESPR obligations, so every module feeds the next, and compliance data becomes a decision, not just a report.

EPR / ESPR / DPP Compliance Management

Stay ahead of Extended Producer Responsibility, EU ESPR, and Digital Product Passport requirements as they evolve, across every jurisdiction you sell into.

Compliance Cost Forecasting

See what you owe before the invoice arrives. SKU-level cost visibility turns compliance from a year-end surprise into a plannable line item.

RADAR: Regulatory Monitoring

Tracks regulatory changes, threshold shifts, and deadline updates across jurisdictions in real time, so a new rule never catches you unprepared.

Source Reduction Plan

Model source-reduction and design-change scenarios against real cost and compliance data, and see the fee impact before you commit to a redesign.

Circularity Measurement & Management

Track initiatives and metrics in accordance with the Global Circularity Protocol (GCP): one data foundation, audit-ready.

Circular Readiness Score

A platform-generated benchmark of where your organization stands today and what's blocking progress toward your next compliance or circularity milestone.

Value Chain Collaboration

Connect suppliers, recyclers, and partners on shared data and shared accountability, no more chasing spreadsheets across five vendors.

Sustainability & Circularity ROI

Quantify the business case, not just the environmental one. See the dollar return behind every circularity initiative.

Methodology

The RHEO Method

A three-step path from where you stand today to a strategy you can execute. Strategy and implementation expertise amplified by AI.

1

Survey

A distributable readiness survey deployed inside your organization, capturing where compliance, data, and design practices stand today across teams.

2

Workshop

A guided session with your team to interpret the survey findings, surface blind spots, and align stakeholders on priorities.

3

Strategy

A concrete roadmap, prioritized, costed, and sequenced, turning the diagnostic into an execution plan your team can act on immediately.

Services

Strategic Groundwork for Circular Systems

Strategic groundwork for building circular systems that actually hold up in operations.

Circular Opportunities Assessment

The starting point: a focused assessment of where your value chain holds the most cost, risk, and opportunity.

Circular Strategy for Your Operations

Assess and redesign how materials, products, and processes flow through your business.

Circular Strategy for Your Products

Design-for-disassembly, material specs, and lifecycle planning at the product level.

Source Reduction Implementation

The design, sourcing, and supplier-requalification work required to actually execute a source-reduction plan, not just model it.

Circular Business Models

New revenue and value-capture models (take-back, resale, product-as-a-service) built for your specific market.

Circular Strategy for Cities & Communities

Municipal and regional circular economy planning and stakeholder engagement. Different buyer, different sales motion.

About RHEO

RHEO partners with manufacturers to turn EPR and ESPR obligations into competitive advantage. Unlike platforms built for reporting, RHEO is built for decisions.

Our circular intelligence platform connects the regulatory, material, and financial data behind what you owe, giving you SKU-level visibility down to the cost. Our circularity strategy services turn that visibility into action, closing the data gaps that drain the most value and building your roadmap to recycled content, source reduction, design changes, and measurable savings as compliance requirements evolve.
