Session Description: Join AMERIPEN Executive Director Dan Felton for a fast-paced discussion about packaging EPR in the U.S. Learn what states have enacted laws and where they are in their implementation, if you might be a producer under these new laws and what your obligations are, and whether something can or should happen at the federal level as even more states are expected to pass their own laws.
