As extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws for paper and packaging roll out across several U.S. states, producers must navigate a new and evolving regulatory landscape. Seven states (California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington) already have laws, with lawmakers in many other states introducing or considering their own versions.
Figuring out producer obligations under these laws, especially if operating across multiple states, can be a full-time job. By partnering with a trusted producer responsibility organization (PRO), producers can gain access to valuable resources and guidance and keep their organizations in compliance with current and upcoming EPR requirements.
Circular Action Alliance (CAA), founded by producers across the food, beverage, consumer goods and retail industries, is committed to helping producers comply with EPR laws, deliver harmonized, best-in-class services, and work with governments, businesses and communities to reduce waste and recycle more.
