May 15, 2025 | As extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws continue to gain momentum in states across the U.S., manufacturers are facing a growing set of complex and costly compliance challenges. An upcoming Toy Association webinar will cover a comprehensive overview of state legislative activity, including what to expect as programs roll out in the months ahead and how to start preparing now. Registration for this webinar is now open.

Taking place Wednesday, May 28 at 2 p.m. (Eastern), “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) State Legislative Overview” will provide the latest updates on EPR laws that have been enacted across the U.S., along with pending legislation that may still pass this year. Additionally, EPR experts will provide valuable insights regarding manufacturer responsibilities and navigating each state’s programs.

The webinar will be presented by Andy Hackman, principal lobbyist at Serlin Haley, and experts from Circular Action Alliance, a U.S. producer responsibility organization. Charlotte Hickcox, The Toy Association’s director of state government affairs, will moderate.

The session is open only to Toy Association members at no cost. It is specifically recommended for regulatory, legislative, and sustainability professionals as well as anyone who wants to learn more about how EPR laws will affect their business.
