How PackLoop handles California

PackLoop maps each material in your packaging specs to California’s reporting categories, including its detailed material, form and recyclability classes, and totals the weight you place on the market there.

Fee figures come only from the fee schedule you upload for California. Until a published schedule is on file, PackLoop shows estimates as estimates and will not mark the state ready to file.
