Extended Producer Responsibility in Action: Policy, Progress, and Pitfalls

Abstract/summary

California has implemented nearly a dozen stewardship and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs over the last decade. As the Legislature contemplates new EPR programs, it can call upon the lessons that have been learned to craft impactful, effective programs. This informational hearing will provide insights on (1) what products are good candidates for EPR programs, (2) the pros and cons of establishing measurable goals in legislation, regulations, or stewardship plans, and (3) what tools and mechanisms for evaluation and enforcement have been most successful. By learning from past EPR programs in California, this committee can better assess and improve future EPR legislation.
