Policy partners PSI collaborates with state, local, and tribal governments and partners with more than 120 businesses and academic institutions, indicating a strong opportunity to offer consulting services, policy advisory, and program design to government bodies and corporate entities seeking to implement or expand EPR and product stewardship programs.

Funding signals Recent grants and financing support, including a $52k award to assist Missouri Product Stewardship Council and other partnerships, suggest ongoing public or foundation funding activity for stewardship initiatives, presenting a pathway for grant consulting, project scoping, and funded program deployments.

Pilot and harmonization PSI has launched six-month pilots (eg vape waste in Missouri) and a harmonization task force to align fee structures, signaling demand for program implementation support, vendor procurement coordination, data analytics, and stakeholder alignment services.

Expansion opportunities Strategic partnerships with associations and organizations (SWANA, PaintCare, ACA, Choctaw Nation) demonstrate PSI’s growing footprint in materials management and take-back programs, presenting cross-sell opportunities for policy modeling, lifecycle assessments, and compliance frameworks for diverse product categories.

Sustainability platform With a track record of enacting 136 EPR laws across 18 product categories and a focus on end-to-end product stewardship, PSI is positioned to offer scale-ready solutions, legislative modeling, and implementation roadmaps to governments and large-scale employers pursuing circular economy commitments.
