Oregon’s Packaging EPR Law Is Constitutional - lexology.com

Oregon’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law for packaging has been upheld by a court, confirming its constitutionality. This landmark decision means that producers, including consumer goods companies, will be responsible for the costs associated with collecting, sorting, and recycling their packaging. The law aims to increase recycling rates and reduce waste by shifting the financial burden from taxpayers to those who introduce products into the market. For FMCG and pharma companies operating in or selling to Oregon, this translates to a significant new compliance requirement. Understanding how this EPR scheme impacts packaging choices and potentially the machinery needed to handle compliant materials will be crucial.
