• Support the preparation and timely submission of EPR registrations, reports, and fee calculations across applicable U.S. state programs.
• Monitor evolving packaging regulations and research sustainable alternatives to support reduction targets.
Sustainable Event Practices
• Assist in implementing sustainability initiatives at events and media productions across energy efficiency, waste diversion, circular materials, logistics, and fan travel.
• Collaborate with event managers and production agencies to track event-level KPIs (e.g., waste diversion rate and emissions per attendee), capture lessons learned, and pilot new solutions.
