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 the California SB54 Advisory Board’s evaluation of “barriers and solutions” on EPR packaging concerns; Colorado’s proposed post-consumer recycled content targets; an updated timeline for Maine; the launch of Minnesota EPR; and the release of a list of 1200 registered producers in Oregon. We also take a deeper dive – in the “Issue in Focus” section – into the growing tension between old state laws that require the use of the chasing arrows symbol and new state laws that prohibit its use unless recycling criteria are met.
