What is Extended Producer Responsibility?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation is reshaping how brands pay for and think about packaging waste.
Seven U.S. states have already passed EPR laws, and brands selling into Oregon, Colorado, and California face active compliance requirements today.
If your company generates more than $5 million in revenue and uses single-use packaging, EPR may apply to you.

What Should Brand Do Now?
1. Track and report packaging usage
All EPR programs require brands to submit detailed reports of packaging materials by weight and component.
2. Re-evaluate packaging strategy
Packaging decisions directly affect EPR fees and long-term compliance, especially as plastic reduction targets and eco-modulation come into play.
