US EPR and the roadmap to implementation: Steps for a clearer distribution of responsibility, costs and revenues

7 U.S. states have active Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for packaging: California, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, and Maryland. This number is set to expand and the direction of travel is quite clear. 

Effective legislation is essential to level the playing field and drive a more competitive market for sustainable packaging. In this session, we’ll assess what effective legislation actually means in practice for business. We’ll take a look at existing laws, what is coming down the track, and how we can collectively ensure EPR delivers the right impact.
