As Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are being implemented across seven U.S. states, there is growing pressure to meet ambitious recycling performance targets that cannot be achieved through infrastructure alone.
We sat down with Latricia Fry of Inteplast to discuss how both mono-material and multi-material flexible packaging formats are viable options when it comes to meeting Extended Producer Responsibility mandates.
The partnership delivers the first integrated digital solution to make EPR and PPWR reporting across all EU markets seamless, scalable and cost-efficient.
The Flexible Packaging Association was critical of the legislation, saying it included unattainable mandates and would threaten the affordability of essential goods for all New York residents. AMERIPEN expressed similar reservations.
Created for brands, retailers, associations and solution providers impacted by EPR laws, this guideline addresses a growing need for scalable, reliable packaging data management and demonstrates how GS1 Standards can be leveraged for EPR packaging reporting.

IFPA stresses that fresh produce packaging is “not discretionary” but rather an essential tool for preventing food loss, meeting federal food safety requirements, and getting nutritious food to consumers.
By leveraging Greyparrot’s Deepnest platform, Kenvue will transition from theoretical "design-for-recycling" models to evidence-based data derived from real-world recycling environments.
Arithmetic is simple. Compliance is not. We recently sat down with Anna Kendall of Ernst & Young LLP to discuss the challenges of meeting both imminent and long-term EPR mandates, including a coordinated May 31 reporting deadline across six states.
