  • 1.  State Level Packaging Regulatory Action

    Posted 07-15-2025 04:11 PM

    Hello,

    Is there a one-stop place to find action and updates relating to material EPR, Material Recyclability, PCR, etc. at the state level?

    Thank you,

    Keller & Heckman have offered great updates on EPR. I also follow Packaging Dive for EPR updates.

    Hey Tim,

    There is no single one-stop platform specifically tailored for tracking state-level updates on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Material Recyclability, or Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content. However, there are several reliable resources and strategies you can use to stay informed and compliant:

    1. State Regs Today – Wisconsin EPR Laws
      This is the most comprehensive summary of Wisconsin's EPR framework. It covers:

      • Covered product categories (e.g., electronics, paint, batteries)
      • Producer responsibilities
      • Enforcement mechanisms
      • Local government roles 

    2. Packaging Dive – State Policy Tracker
      A live tracker of packaging-related legislation across all U.S. states, including:

      • EPR laws
      • PCR mandates
      • Labeling requirements
      • PFAS restrictions 

    3. Purpose Rising Blog – 2025 EPR & Packaging Update
      Offers a national perspective on EPR and PCR trends, including:

      • State-by-state rollout timelines
      • Reporting deadlines
      • Fee structures and enforcement actions

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Tim,

    I had similar questions on my mind about EPR. How can we keep up?! I did a bit of a dive and have some resources of what I found. There's a quick-read article on my website with links to various sources and strategies that might be helpful - not specifically Wisconsin though.

    Good luck in your search,

    Sharon
