Thursday, October 23, 2025 | 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET

November 15 marks the first reporting deadline for California’s Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program. This initial report will establish your company’s baseline packaging data — the foundation for future packaging reduction and recyclability requirements.

California’s EPR law is unlike any other in the U.S., covering 95 types of packaging materials and setting measurable reduction targets over time. The Auto Care Association, PARTSLIFE, and the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) have developed guidance and tools to help you understand the law, the environmental goals behind it, and what producers in the automotive aftermarket must do to comply.

Join us for a practical session that breaks down the California Packaging EPR Toolkit, step-by-step reporting guidance, and what’s coming next across other EPR states.
