The topic of this episode is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs for packaging materials, which have begun to proliferate in the U.S. Four states have now implemented EPR programs, others have proposed legislation, and more states are expected to follow suit in the years to come.
Keller and Heckman Partner Rachel Bond joins our hosts to discuss EPR and related sustainability issues. Rachel provides insight into regulations, requirements, and exemptions in place for current EPR programs. Associate Caleb Holland also reports on EPR legislation, both at the federal and state level.
