As packaging regulations expand across the U.S., producers and brands are facing a new reality: sustainability decisions must also meet financial, operational, and reputational goals. Policies such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), truth-in-recycling laws, and heightened scrutiny of environmental claims are shifting responsibility squarely onto brands, with direct implications for cost, market access, and credibility.

Packaging Strategy is No Longer Optional

In this evolving regulatory landscape, success depends not only on meeting compliance requirements, but on making informed decisions, validating progress, and communicating sustainability efforts in a way that is both accurate and defensible.

In this panel discussion, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the direction of EPR and packaging regulations and what they mean for producers nationwide

• Identify where regulatory risk, cost exposure, and packaging decisions intersect across product portfolios and the new product development process

• Establish a cross functional working group to drive progress in line with each state’s EPR rules

• Use Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to inform smarter packaging choices, support fee reduction strategies, and guide sustainable product innovation

• Equip internal teams through targeted training to ensure packaging, waste, and sustainability strategies are executed consistently across the organization

• Evaluate the role of third-party certification in validating improvements and strengthening credible environmental claims

• Translate your packaging progress and sustainability data into clear, aligned messaging that resonates with your customers and enables your sales team

• Leverage packaging circularity progress to develop a thought leadership position that resonates with your stakeholders

Don’t miss this insightful discussion, bringing together expertise across regulation, life cycle analysis, product innovation, certification, and sustainability communications. Find out how an integrated approach to EPR readiness helps brands reduce risk, control costs, and move forward with confidence.
