Similar laws worldwide have led to 75 percent reduction in recycled plastics. The United States generates more than 40 million tons of plastic waste a year, but just 5% of that is recycled. That is about to change. In less than a year Oregon will become the first state in the U.S. to implement a series of laws known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The laws fundamentally shift the responsibility for funding recycling systems from local governments to the plastic makers. The law’s fee structures are designed to incentivize producers to make packaging that minimizes waste and environmental impacts and improves recyclability.
