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. The SPC does not lobby in favor of or against any specific legislation; rather, we provide an objective perspective on policy’s implications for more sustainable packaging.
