The Rise of EPR: Unpacking the Details (WasteExpo 2023)

Since 2021, four states have passed packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) bills— California, Colorado, Maine and Oregon—and many other states have introduced EPR bills but have not been successful in getting them passed.

Tune into this session as state-level experts unpack the details of these bills and unveil their potential long-term effects.
