Producers

As EPR legislations are passed in different states, this page is your central resource for information on Interchange 360 and available compliance pathways.

Who Should Join?

Brand-owners, retailers, distributors of petroleum and automotive products, their associated packaging and other ‘Producers’ that are required to comply with state EPR laws.

Examples of products that would be included in EPR laws include motor oils, engine lubricants or additives, anti-freeze, transmission/brake/gear oils, or other automotive, mechanical, and motor liquids. Typical packaging formats include rigid plastic or HDPE, bag-in-box, pales (e.g., 5-gallon buckets), metal, multi-layer tubes or bottles, aerosols, or other container designed for single-use.

Producers are encouraged to join LPMA powered by Interchange 360 by completing and submitting Participation Agreements for each regulated state. These agreements can be found linked below or on the relevant State Response pages.

If you’re still unclear about your reporting obligations, we’ve created this flowchart to help:

EPR Fees & Dues

Interchange 360 has established a fees/dues schedule that is intended to fund the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program in each state.

Planning Fees are intended to fund the activities needed for program start-up, including development of the EPR Plan, engagement with state EPR leads, engagement with stakeholders, preparation of an operational plan, IT, communications, legal and administration. Planning Fees stop when Implementation Fees begin.

Implementation Fees are intended to fund the operation of the program including payments to service providers, infrastructure development, public communications, state oversight costs, legal, IT and administration.
