All Wrapped Up: Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging, October 2024 Newsletter


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 CalRecycle’s decision not to incorporate certain comments from CAA and the SB54 Advisory Board in its EPR regulation; a kerfuffle in Colorado over how to approach material category lists; and a definition of packaging material in Maine that could encompass a host of everyday consumer products. We also take a deeper dive – in the Issue in Focus section – into how CAA intends to “require” all producers to execute the same “agreement.”
