All Wrapped Up: Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging, February 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 how CalRecycle rescued producers by delaying the SB 343 labeling mandate; the submission of Colorado’s PRO plan; EPR legislation advancing in Maryland; the inaugural meeting of the Minnesota Producer Responsibility Board; the final approval of the first PRO plan in U.S. packaging EPR; and the imminent (and also the first) data reporting deadline in U.S. packaging EPR. We also take a deeper dive – in our Issue in Focus section – into California source reduction planning.
