Substrate brings producers and their packaging suppliers onto one record, so the data behind every state report is gathered once, sourced, and ready to file.
Producers ask suppliers for what they need in one place. Suppliers answer once and decide who sees their exact figures. Fewer spreadsheets and email threads on both sides.
A missing weight, an unconfirmed specification, a state with no published rate: each shows as a gap, with what it affects.
Specifications, calculations, assumptions and methods are recorded with their sources, so any figure can be explained later.
Enacted and proposed state programs, rates, deadlines and comment windows, tracked in one place with sources.
Your legal entities, the states you sell into, and where you’re registered.
What you sell, and the packaging each item ships in, down to its components.
Ask the right supplier for each component and track it until it’s answered. No answer yet? Estimate, and record how.
How many units ship into each state, counted or estimated. An estimate carries its method, so it can be replaced later.
See what’s missing, estimated or unconfirmed, what each gap affects, and how well each figure is sourced.
Each state’s categories and units, computed from the same record and signed by a person.
Watch it done. A five-minute guided tour walks these steps through a demo workspace on synthetic data. Demo access is by invitation; the demo door is where it starts.
Collect what you need from suppliers, see what’s still missing, and report state by state with the record behind every figure.

The detail lives in the workspace. Per-material rates, the full filing calendar and every source sit in the Library. See it in a demo workspace.
Competing brands’ volumes never mix. The database itself keeps producer records away from the regulator side, by permission and not just by screen.
Industry figures are withheld when too few companies contribute, or when one could be picked out. No statistic built from competitors’ data is risk-free. We reduce that risk, and we say so.
