Are you ready to report your company’s packaging data? As more states enact extended producer responsibility laws regulating packaging like boxes and polybags, it’s time to get to know how this issue could affect your company.
On Monday, Nov. 10, PPAI hosted a live, info-packed session designed to help you understand how this issue could affect your promo business, what your obligations may be and what you can do to prepare and achieve compliance.
- Multiple state deadlines to register and report have already passed, with more coming soon.
- PPAI has also produced a white paper detailing current state packaging EPR laws with input from leading sustainability compliance law firm Taft.
Elizabeth Wimbush, PPAI’s director of sustainability & responsibility, hosted the webinar, along with Public Affairs Manager Rachel Zoch. Ammi Borenstein, founder & CEO of Snaplinc Consulting, which helps companies navigate regulatory requirements and achieve ESG and sustainability goals, presented a summary of the state laws in place and explored promo-specific scenarios to illustrate how these regulations may apply in our industry.
