An ELI Public Webinar
To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations (PROs). EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
Join the Environmental Law Institute for a two-part webinar series on EPR. This second session will feature representatives from industry, NGOs, PROs, and government to dive deeper into what EPR programs look like across a variety of sectors, highlight implementation challenges, and discuss best practices for compliance.
