Sustainability goals in packaging used to be voluntary. That’s changing fast.

On the latest episode of unPACKed with PMMI, Heather Turner of Dow explains how extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws are shifting brands from voluntary targets to compliance, and how those EPR payments will help build the recycling infrastructure the industry NEEDS to make circularity work.

We also dig into design for recyclability, mechanical and advanced recycling, and discuss Dow’s position as the official sustainability partner at PACK EXPO International.
