Event Detail
Samuel D. Jockel, Angela M. Spivey
May 12, 2026
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time

From rigid plastic to glass to paper packaging and beyond, CPG companies are facing an increasingly complex maze of restrictions: from Extended Producer Responsibility laws to state postconsumer recycled (PCR) content requirements. This patchwork of state requirements is here to stay and packaging—its components and related claims—continues to be a target of the plaintiff’s bar.

Please join us for a joint presentation with Alston & Bird and Altium Packaging to explore these recent developments, how they may impact your business, and next steps for CPG companies.

You will hear about:

  • The current EPR landscape and how best to navigate it
  • An update on other state packaging law requirements
  • The litigation landscape—recent challenges and risk mitigation strategies
  • Business side and operational considerations
