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 midsummer edition of All Wrapped Up, we discuss a blockbuster ending to this year’s state legislative sessions, culminating in the official launch of the first packaging EPR program in U.S. history; the passage of packaging EPR in two more states; an unprecedented statutory “fix” to the nation’s first packaging EPR law; two new EPR needs assessment laws; and yet another aborted attempt at packaging EPR in New York. We also take a deeper dive – in our Issue in Focus section – into whether the new and (ostensibly) improved SB54 rulemaking will result in cost savings as opposed to cost shifting.
