🌍✨ Barcodes Aim to Unlock EPR Packaging Reporting
Why we’re watching: The idea behind extended producer responsibility for packaging is simple: companies that design and sell packaging should pay for managing it at the end of its life, not local governments or taxpayers.
Seven states—California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington—have passed EPR packaging laws, and more states are considering similar rules designed to unlock the circular economy. 💚
In each state, producers, including brand owners, importers, and retailers, must register with a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
