Do you know how many packaging EPR laws there are in the U.S? As Meyers continues to be at the forefront of sustainability, our team had the opportunity to attend a very informative lunch and learn today hosted by Case Paper. Many interesting topics discussed including how many EPR laws are either already in place, close to be implemented, or in discussion in the U.S. 6 states with bills already passed, 14 states with proposed bills, and 4 states having discussions about potential bills. 24 states so almost half!!!! Meyers has the team in place that can help companies and brands gain a better understanding of EPR and work with them so their packaging can meet the requirements. In the meantime, here is an article from Packaging World that provides some further information and insight. https://lnkd.in/g3YUWQhY

Pet products are big business and there are far more pet products available on the shelves now than just a few years ago. That means brands need to take into account the environmental impact of the products they offer. Packaging that is hard to recycle for health and beauty products or human food stuffs is just as hard to recycle when used for pet products. This article outlines the challenge and the considerations that brands need to take into account. #WeContainWhatMatters #SustainablePackaging #MetalRecyclesForever #MetalPackaging https://lnkd.in/eYgAjeNd

Glad to see my state has joined the EPR ranks for packaging. This is a great first step in legislation. To really expand recycling, mandatory recycled content minimums must be enacted! If the end material has value, it will be collected and recycled. Trying to increase recycling rates by increasing collection and supply is not the answer. There must be an end market that is willing (required) and able to purchase it. https://lnkd.in/guAUb5QB

It is great to see a fifth state implement an EPR program but it would be even better if we had a national program that addressed the shortfalls of the current recycling system. Imagine if the Clean Air Act had been a state by state law. There would still be states selling leaded gasoline, 50 years later, because it is cheaper to make. National recycling legislation with minimum content requirements would provide an effective guide for companies to follow. Real results, not more discussions, surveys and committees are required.
