All Wrapped Up: Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging, April 2025

All Wrapped Up is a newsletter that tracks and analyzes key developments in extended producer responsibility laws for packaging. It is a subscription-based resource for King & Spalding clients who sell or distribute just about anything contained in paper and plastics packaging. We unpack statutory and regulatory developments in those states with existing laws; we explore the potential for future laws; and we cast a spotlight on hot topics in our Issue in Focus section.

In this month’s edition of All Wrapped Up, we discuss the start of an 18-month clock for California producers to revisit their use of the chasing arrows symbol on products and packaging; the “at least” 8-month timeline for the revised SB 54 rulemaking; the Colorado Addendum to the Participant Producer Agreement; the kickoff meeting of the Massachusetts EPR Commission; and continued momentum for EPR in Maryland and Washington, which would make for a historic year in U.S. EPR packaging law. We also take a deeper dive – in our Issue in Focus section – into why everyone seems to like Minnesota’s EPR law.
