Packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) is now mandatory in seven US states – and more are on the way. Fees are already live in Oregon and Colorado, and most producers will file their first reports in spring 2027. For many brands, that means reporting packaging weight by material, state by state, for the first time, with fees that depend on what they report.
Join Sweep and Darla Arians, Director of Policy and Programs at the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI), for a 45-minute webinar on the US packaging EPR landscape and what it means for your business. PSI has been at the forefront of EPR policy in the US since 2000, helping to shape and enact legislation across the country – making them one of the most authoritative voices on where the regulation stands and where it’s headed.
We’ll cover:
- The state of US EPR: which states are in scope, what’s required, and what’s coming next
- Key obligations and timelines: how the reporting works and common pitfalls to avoid
- Fee methodologies: How they work, and the factors that can affect what producers pay
- Getting ready: how to tackle the data challenge and put the right processes in place before the next reporting window
- Live Q&A: bring your questions
Whether you’re reporting for the first time or looking to sharpen your approach, this session will give you a clear picture of where things stand – and what to do next.
