May 31 US packaging EPR deadlines are approaching fast, and for many companies, the biggest challenges are no longer awareness — they’re execution, packaging data, and internal ownership.

With multiple U.S. states now requiring packaging reporting (including California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington), producers are navigating increasingly complex compliance requirements, evolving guidance, fee exposure, and state-by-state reporting differences.

In this recorded webinar, PCX walks through a practical, step-by-step approach to US EPR compliance, including:

  • packaging data readiness
  • reporting workflows
  • California SB 54 requirements
  • fee structures and bonus/malus mechanisms
  • common compliance pitfalls
  • how to prepare for future reporting cycles

This session is designed to help teams move from: “We think we’re on track” → “We know we’re ready.”
