The EPR Countdown: Deadlines, Data, and Dollars Under California’s SB 54 and Other State Programs

This program will provide a practical overview of the rapidly evolving extended producer responsibility (“EPR”) landscape, with a primary focus on California’s SB 54 and its producer definitions, reporting obligations, fee structures, and long-term recyclability and reduction mandates. The program will highlight key compliance deadlines, data and reporting requirements, and anticipated cost impacts, while situating SB 54 within the broader national framework of existing and emerging state EPR laws. Attendees will gain a clear, action-oriented understanding of what must be done now and how to strategically manage compliance risk, budgeting, and operational impacts as EPR programs continue to expand nationwide.
