All Wrapped Up: Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging, January 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 a high-profile and late-breaking challenge to California’s EPR rulemaking; CAA’s intent to respond to Maine’s RFP to serve as a stewardship organization in yet another state; and legislators in Maryland that may be a bit frustrated with its 6-month (!) delay in developing a needs assessment. We also take a deeper dive – in our Issue in Focus section – into state differences in business-to-business packaging exemptions.
