Maine Becomes First State to Sign Extended Producer Responsibility Law for Packaging, Other States with Plastics and Packaging Bills May Follow Shortly Wednesday, July 14, 2021
Key Takeaways
What is Happening? On July 13, 2021, Maine became the first state to sign Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation into law for plastics and packaging materials, and Oregon may soon follow. This reflects a growing momentum towards EPR legislation nationwide. Several of these state bills require producers to pay for a portion of the costs of recycling materials that they put into the market.
Who Is Impacted? Producers, retailers, and manufacturers of single-use plastic, packaging materials, paper, and food service ware. This does not include producers of packaging material intended to be used for long-term storage or protection, beverage containers, or paint containers. There are also exceptions for producers of small amounts of packaging waste.
