We are policy experts.  We understand what policies successfully minimize waste and improve recycling – and best practice approaches for implementing these policies at the state and local levels. We stay abreast of extended producer responsibility laws and bills considered and enacted in the U.S., EPR laws implemented elsewhere, and the complex nuances of those policies.

We assess the implications of existing and proposed policies to provide clients with insights regarding how various policies may affect current and future business. We aid our clients in developing their own policy positions as well as understanding those of other stakeholders. 

Examples of work performed in this arena include:

• Monitoring federal and state legislative activity including bills regarding:
  • Product stewardship / extended producer responsibility for packaging
  • Recycled content mandates
  • Limiting use of single use plastics
  • Labeling pertaining to what is recyclable
  • Other sustainable packaging and recycling-related bills
• Developing policy updates and executive briefings
