AF&PA can’t join NAW’s Oregon EPR lawsuit, judge rules

An Oregon judge offered new clarity this past week on who is temporarily exempt from enforcement of the state’s extended producer responsibility for packaging law, and imposed limits on other groups that want to join the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors’ ongoing legal challenge.

In February, NAW won a preliminary injunction, blocking the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality from enforcing the Recycling Modernization Act against NAW members. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon clarified that the injunction only applies to companies that were NAW members as of Feb. 6 — not any companies that have joined since then. The case is scheduled to go to trial in July.
