Maine

Maine was the first U.S. state to pass EPR legislation for packaging (LD 1541, passed in 2021), with implementation led by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and an upcoming PRO selection process.

Complying with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) begins with collecting data related to product distribution in each state and material specifications on packaging and we have created a Producer Guidance Document that can help you with this process. You can find that document, along with other relevant information, on the Producers page.
