Dan Felton, Executive Director, AMERIPEN
On March 2, lawmakers introduced to the House of Representatives the new Climate Leadership and Environmental Action for our Nation’s (CLEAN) Future Act. This comprehensive climate action bill includes language impacting packaging by adopting many provisions from the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act, including a pause on building new plastics facilities, restrictions on chemical recycling, and the establishment of a national bottle bill. The legislation establishes post-consumer recycled content standards for beverage containers and other packaging, as well as standardized labeling on covered packaging to clarify their recyclability. It also calls for a task force to create a national extended producer responsibility (EPR) system for packaging and containers. The bill could give the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency further jurisdiction over packaging requirements and restrictions.
Panel: State packaging EPR laws will push national conversation

A few states will take the major step this year of passing producer responsibility laws for packaging in the United States, potentially putting industry more on the hook for financing recycling systems.
At least that was the prediction from a panel of industry and government officials at a recent sustainable packaging conference. I predict in the next year we ll have two, maybe three states with producer responsibility laws on the books for packaging, said Dan Felton, executive director of Ameripen, a packaging trade association. That in and of itself is going to be an interesting, good development, and with that, that s going to drive the conversation … to a more uniform national approach.
