backAll 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 whether the threats to resurrect the California EPR ballot measure have any basis in reality; CAA Colorado’s attempts to provide flexibility to producers with respect to postconsumer recycled content requirements; Maine’s first draft of its “readily recyclable” materials list; Maryland SB 901’s continued momentum; the passage of the first data reporting deadline in U.S. packaging EPR (Oregon); and the potential for EPR in Washington state. We also take a deeper dive – in our Issue in Focus section – into how states are grappling with the inclusion of chemical recycling in their definitions of recycling.
