Extended Producer Responsibility in Action: Case Studies and Crystal Balls
Conference
2026-03-04 | 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM
State Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations are now in effect in Oregon. What is the budget impact of EPR fees now that they are hitting the bottom line (and how might these fees be different state-to-state)? What do brands and businesses need to do today to comply with active state regulations, and how should brands think about what’s next? How does EPR factor into material, design, cost, and sustainability choices for brands and businesses on issues like:
Impact to brand design language like color, deco, touch
Impact to formulation or user experience if compliant packaging doesn’t protect or dispense the product as needed
How packaging choices factor into sustainability strategy and reporting
What exploratory testing should brands and suppliers be thinking about today?
