– January 30, 2025 – The Auto Care Association today announced it will host a webinar to address the new and expanding Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) packaging laws in the United States. The webinar, titled, “Navigating EPR Compliance: Adapting to the New Lifecycle Responsibility,” will take place Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, from 2 – 3 p.m. ET. EPR is transforming the regulatory landscape for packaging, requiring businesses to manage the full lifecycle of their products—from production to end-of-life disposal or recycling. With the first reporting deadline fast approaching in March 2025, it’s essential to understand how these laws will impact your business and what steps you need to take to stay compliant.

Currently, several states have enacted EPR packaging laws, and many others are actively considering similar legislation. This patchwork of state regulations is creating new compliance challenges for companies operating across multiple markets. As states continue to adopt EPR programs, there may also be broader regulations on the horizon, making it critical to prepare now for what’s next.

Speakers will include:

• Lisa M. Tanzi, senior vice president and general counsel, Parts Authority

EPR is a fast-moving regulatory shift that demands immediate attention. Don’t wait to get informed. This webinar will provide the insights and strategies auto care industry businesses need to stay compliant and future-proof their business operations.
