The problem

Most brands are one audit
away from a serious problem.

Ontario's EPR laws are already in effect. If you're still doing this manually, you're exposed.

Double Reporting Requirement

Ontario RPRA (May 31, 2026) and the Federal Plastics Registry (Sep 29, 2026) require separate filings with different data formats. Most brands don't realize both are mandatory.

Methodology is Everything

RPRA doesn't just want your numbers — they want proof of how you calculated them. A spreadsheet with no documentation won't survive an audit.

Supplier Data is Missing

Most brands can't get exact plastic weights from their suppliers. Without a proper proxy methodology, your numbers are guesses — and guesses don't hold up.

$1M+

Maximum administrative penalty per violation under Ontario's Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act. The law is already in effect. The fees are already being billed.

Three steps.
Zero spreadsheets.

You send us your product list. We handle everything else — calculation, methodology documentation, and registry-ready output files for both portals.

01

Send us your SKU list

Share your product catalog and whatever supplier specs you have. Missing specs are fine — that's exactly what we're here to solve. We'll follow up with any questions within 24 hours.

Takes 10 minutes
02

We calculate your plastic data

We identify the resin type, weight, and recyclability status for every SKU in your catalog. Where supplier data is missing, we apply industry-standard proxy weights from our proprietary database — with full documentation so every number is defensible.

48–72 hour turnaround
03

You receive registry-ready files + methodology doc

We deliver formatted output files for the RPRA portal and Federal Registry, plus a methodology document you can hand to an auditor to prove every calculation. No guesswork. No liability.

Why Hardline

Built for Canadian brands.
Not software. A service.

01

Done-for-you, not a tool to learn

Enterprise software like Assent costs thousands and still requires your team to do the work. We deliver the result — you just provide your product list.

02

Audit-ready by default

Every engagement includes a methodology document that explains exactly how each weight was calculated. If RPRA asks, you have a professional answer ready.

03

GTA-local. We can visit your warehouse.

Based in Brampton. If supplier specs are missing, we can physically weigh samples from your facility. No software company in Silicon Valley can offer that.

04

One source of truth — both portals

PRO tools only cover their specific report. We handle RPRA Ontario and the Federal Plastics Registry in one engagement. One data model. No double work.

05

48-hour free audit

Not sure if you need us? We'll audit 10–15 of your SKUs at no cost and have results back within 48 hours. See the value before you spend a dollar.

06

Proprietary proxy database

When suppliers don't provide specs, we use our database of industry-standard proxy weights. Every estimate is documented and defensible — not a guess.

Let's talk before
the deadline.

Ontario's RPRA deadline is May 31, 2026. Most brands need 2–3 weeks to gather data. The sooner you start, the smoother the process.
