State legislatures across the country were busy in 2021 considering bills aimed at reducing the amount of landfilled consumer product packaging. Many bills sought to mandate minimum post-consumer recycled content (PCR) for various packaging materials. Others aimed to shift collection and recycling costs from states to companies by creating circular economies through fee-based “extended producer responsibility” (EPR) programs.

IDFA also highlighted key state bills expected to become active in 2022 and share how IDFA plans to advocate for dairy.
