Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has officially moved from a future concern to a present obligation—complete with expanding state requirements, evolving rules and a rapidly approaching May 31 reporting deadline. If it feels like the landscape is shifting faster than your reporting systems can keep up, you’re not alone.

In this virtual session, Bryan Russell of the MEMA Center for Sustainability was joined by Prateek Lal and Nina Leatherday of Adept EPR AIto break down the current patchwork of state laws, clarify which jurisdictions require action now (and which soon will) and outline what “ready” really means when it comes to reporting and fee compliance.

Whether you’re deep in the process or just realizing the deadline is closer than it should be, MEMA Members can watch the webinar and download the presentation now help you separate urgency from panic and take the next steps with confidence.

We've also opened up a brief survey (~2 minutes) to help us better understand member needs related to EPR and how the MEMA Center for Sustainability can provide support. Please consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey. Members can also download our new Industry Resource Guide on EPR here.
