EPR is a policy approach that places responsibility on producers for the entire lifecycle of their products—including post-consumer collection, recycling, and reuse. State EPR laws aim to shift financial and operational responsibility from municipalities to producers, often requiring the formation of Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), Independent Program Plans (IPPs) or Alternative Collection Programs (ACPs).
What does EPR mean for petroleum and automotive products?
EPR laws vary by state, but generally apply to producers or first-sellers of products and packaging. For petroleum and automotive products, this includes responsibility for post-consumer collection and recycling. Interchange 360 supports producers in understanding these requirements and preparing for participation in state-specific programs.
