What’s Going on with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?
11:30am CT – Presentation via Zoom
Login information will be sent to participants 1 day prior to the event.
Summary
Extended Producer Responsibility, EPR, is an emerging state-based regime that aims to shift responsibility for packaging from municipalities (ultimate waste disposal functions) to manufacturers and producers. Because the laws vary by state, what is required where is both different and ever-changing. Our team will walk through who is subject to EPR, the requirements for states with EPR laws, ways to get involved and in front of ongoing EPR requirements, and finish with a discussion of potential impacts and practical tips organizations can be taking now.
