Flexible Packaging Association Opposes Revised New York EPR Legislation
Why It Matters for ITAD
This regulatory development could affect compliance requirements for ITAD operators.
The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), the leading advocate for the U.S. flexible packaging industry, opposes proposed packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation in New York, A.1749/S.1464. While some positive and negative changes have recently been made to the bills, key requirements remain impractical and do not support new recycling technologies. FPA warns these issues will likely make essential goods less affordable and less useful for New Yorkers.
