California Packaging EPR: Last-Minute Q&A Before the November 15 Deadline W

Building on our earlier webinar, this session focuses on the toughest questions we're hearing from automotive aftermarket companies as they finalize their reports: How do you categorize hybrid packaging materials? When does California consider packaging "recyclable"? What do you do about missing supplier data? How should you handle edge cases in the 95 covered material categories?

Bring your specific questions and challenges. Using the California Packaging EPR Toolkit for the Automotive Aftermarket as our guide, the Auto Care Association, PARTSLIFE, and Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) will provide practical, real-time guidance to help you cross the finish line with confidence.

Key Topics:

• Deep dive into complex material categorization (plastic vs. non-plastic hybrid packaging)
• Determining recyclability and compostability in California
• Handling missing or incomplete data from your supply chain
• Common reporting pitfalls and how to avoid them
• Troubleshooting registration and portal navigation issues with Circular Action Alliance (CAA)
• Last-minute toolkit walk-through for final submissions
• Quick updates on other states (Colorado, Maine, Oregon, Maryland, Minnesota, Washington) and Vermont's automotive fluids EP
