Making the Case for a National EPR Framework

Predictable, consistent regulatory frameworks across markets improve the ease of doing business and encourage longer-term investment in innovation. What could be gained from a national EPR approach instead of the current fragmented, state-by-state system? This panel shares results from a study modeling a national EPR policy framework for the U.S. We’ll discuss tangible economic benefits for producers and consumers, including changes to producer compliance costs under a streamlined national framework, labor-market effects from investment in packaging innovation and infrastructure, benefits to local tax bases, and broader macroeconomic gains from expanded recycling systems.
