Extended Producer Responsibility for Plastics Packaging: Opportunities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Chesapeake Legal Alliance and the Chesapeake Bay Commission have released a joint policy report: Extended Producer Responsibility for Plastics Packaging: Opportunities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

By detailing the successful efforts of other states in passing EPR for packaging legislation, the report outlines opportunities that similar policies present for Bay jurisdiction state or regional approaches to waste resulting from plastics packaging.
