X-WR-CALDESC:The Current State of Packaging EPR and Responsible End Markets
 - The Complexity of Fragmented Markets\n \nDescription:\nThe recycling lan
 dscape is at a pivotal moment. As packaging EPR laws move from passage to 
 implementation\, critical decisions are now being shaped through state rul
 emaking\, legal challenges\, program development\, and emerging standards 
 that will influence how recycling systems operate in practice for years to
  come.\n\nJoin the National Recycling Coalition (NRC) and the National Ste
 wardship Action Council (NSAC)\, STINA\, Circular Action Alliance (CAA) an
 d Interchange 360\, for an important and timely webinar focused on the cur
 rent state of Packaging EPR and Responsible End Markets across the country
 . This session will explore how states\, PROs\, stewardship organizations\
 , recyclers\, and policy leaders are navigating implementation in real tim
 e\, while addressing growing conversations around harmonization\, labeling
 \, material acceptance\, responsible end markets\, recycled content standa
 rds\, and system integrity.\n\nWhat This Webinar Will Explore\n·  How pack
 aging EPR implementation is unfolding across states\, from injunctions to 
 active rulemaking and program implementation\n·  The role of producer resp
 onsibility organizations (PROs) and why some states have multiple\n·  The 
 implications of harmonization efforts across material acceptance\, definit
 ions\, labeling\, and recycled content standards\n·  How definitions\, sta
 ndards\, and labeling frameworks are evolving\, including harmonization\, 
 and why they matter\n·  What these shifts could mean for recyclers\, commu
 nities\, and the integrity of recycling systems\n·  Perspectives from PROs
  and stewardship organizations operating EPR programs\, alongside organiza
 tions involved in policy development and implementation\, on the opportuni
 ties and challenges shaping these systems in real time\n\nWhy Attend\nThis
  session is designed to equip NRC and NSAC members and partners with a cle
 arer understanding of a rapidly changing implementation landscape and to f
 oster dialogue on how we collectively respond. Participants will gain:\n· 
  Insight into the forces shaping packaging EPR implementation across state
 s\n·  A strategic overview of current implementation and policy trends\n· 
  Learn about Responsible End Markets\n·  Hear from two PROs\, understand h
 ow are they doing and what’s what’s happening in their implementation prog
 rams \n·  A space to engage and ask questions\nWho Should Attend\n·  State
  Recycling Organizations (SROs)\n·  Local government leaders and program m
 anagers\n·  Recycling professionals and industry stakeholders\n·  Environm
 ental advocates and policy leaders\n·  Industry leaders \n·  NRC and NSAC 
 members and partners across the recycling ecosystem
