Navigating EPR Compliance: Adapting to the New Lifecycle Responsibility
Join us for a webinar looking at the impact of EPR laws on product and packaging lifecycles.
Thursday, February 6, 2025 | 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. EST
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is transforming the regulatory landscape for packaging, requiring businesses to manage the full lifecycle of their products—from production to end-of-life disposal or recycling. Currently, seven states have enacted EPR packaging laws, and many others are actively considering similar legislation. This patchwork of state regulations is creating new compliance challenges for companies operating across multiple markets.
With the first reporting deadline fast approaching in March 2025, it’s essential to understand how these laws will impact your business and what steps you need to take to stay compliant. As states continue to adopt EPR programs, there may also be broader regulations on the horizon, making it critical to prepare now for what’s next.
