Generally, packaging EPR laws in the U.S. pull into scope any company that is the first to sell the covered products into those states, independent of the company’s headquarters. As long as the company is introducing packaging into the market and meets thresholds for revenue and tonnage, it may be subject to the laws.
Data requirements vary by state, but most EPR packaging programs require producers to report detailed information about the packaging materials – and in some states, the paper products – they place on the market, including:
- Packaging material type (e.g., paper, plastic, aluminum)
- Weight of packaging, by material type
- Quantity of packaging supplied to each applicable state, by material type
Possibly. Although a few states provide exclusions for materials that are only sold business-to-business (B2B), selling B2B does not always exempt producers from packaging EPR laws. B2B producers should carefully review packaging EPR laws in each state to determine whether they are obligated to comply.
Companies that have not yet assessed their EPR packaging obligations should reach out to G&A for help to:
- Determine their producer status and possible volume or revenue exemptions under each applicable state law
- Identify their covered packaging materials
- Register with the designated producer responsibility organization (PRO) for states that have set registration deadlines
- Collect packaging weight and material data from the year for which supply reports are requested
- Submit required reports by the state deadline
