Keller and Heckman LLP is pleased to announce a complimentary webinar, EPR for Packaging is Here: What Tobacco & Nicotine Companies Need to Know, hosted by Keller and Heckman LLP Partners Azim Chowdhury and Katie Skaggs.
This webinar is intended for tobacco and nicotine companies. It will provide an overview of existing and emerging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation impacting tobacco and nicotine packaging and the obligations coming due.
As early as July 2025, "producers" of covered products will need to join and pay dues to a “Producer Responsibility Organization” (PRO) as part of the state’s EPR program covering a wide array of packaging. Oregon will collect dues from producers of packaging starting in July, but it is only one of several states that have adopted EPR programs for packaging, and EPR policies continue to gain momentum around the U.S.
Tobacco and nicotine companies should know that the new responsibilities created by these schemes – including reporting obligations and fee payments for packaging – may fall directly on them. This webinar will catalog the EPR schemes now in place and discuss practical steps that tobacco and nicotine companies can take to comply. The following is a short summary of the topics to be covered:
- Introduction to EPR for tobacco and nicotine companies
- Key elements of EPR programs for packaging (definitions, etc.)
- Current and proposed state EPR legislation
- Upcoming deadlines and obligations
