Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility: Strategies for local compliance and global consistency

Listen Later
To date, 7 US states have passed packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, with more exploring this pathway. EPR schemes have been emerging as an important component of packaging and waste regulations worldwide. But with a lack of harmonization across schemes, business is left in a tough spot.

This webinar explores how organizations are responding to the fragmented global EPR landscape, balancing local compliance needs with global goals and cross-border operations. We also look at the effects of these regulations on packaging innovation processes and sustainability strategies, reflecting on shared challenges and best practice.

  • The practical steps to prepare for compliance in a growing patchwork of EPR regulations
  • How leading brands are reconciling local packaging and waste management compliance with global targets and supply chain consistency
  • Innovation through compliance? How to determine where and when to invest in new packaging solutions that may, or may not, align with future EPR rules
  • Examples of effective cross-industry collaboration that can help to bring clarity and alignment in response to packaging EPR

    • Hear from:
    • Sarah Paleg, director of sustainability at Amcor
    • Jordan Girling, head of extended producer responsibility at WRAP
    • Alex Chan, US and Canada EPR expert in producer fees, eco modulation, program planning and operations.
    • Tanya Richard, Innovation Forum's COO and head of stakeholder engagement, moderated the conversation.

      • Continue the conversation at the sustainable packaging innovation forum USA in Chicago on 28-29 October. Click here for information on how to get involved.
