About Policy
Today like never before, policy is driving sustainable packaging. We help our members understand the rapidly-changing landscape of extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, as well as other types of packaging policy such as bottle bills, bans, recycled content laws, and labeling laws. While the SPC does not engage in lobbying activity, we provide our perspective on policy’s implications for more sustainable packaging.
