On June 30, 2026, Claigan Environmental, a leader in plastics and packaging reporting, will conduct a crucial webinar aimed at helping businesses prepare for compliance with the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation in California and Oregon. The packaging data required by California's SB 54 and Oregon's SB 582 was already due on May 31, 2026. However, with a 90-day grace period effectively extending this deadline to August 31, 2026, businesses that fail to comply face severe penalties, which can range from daily fines of $25,000 to $50,000 in California to being placed on a public non-compliance list in Oregon. The webinar is particularly relevant for B2B businesses, which are fully in scope under these regulations.
The session is designed to provide participants with practical insights into generating the necessary EPR data. Participants can expect to learn about the fundamental data that must be collected for compliance, and how to navigate common challenges such as gaps in supplier data or the management of various types of packaging—including distinguishing between detachable and associated packaging.
Key topics will include:
- - Scope: Clear guidelines on which businesses need to comply.
- - Fundamental Data: Baseline metrics essential for compliance.
- - Data Rollup: Strategies for consolidating data files for California and Oregon.
- - Crisis Management: Tips on how to tackle diverse data gaps within tight deadlines.
- - Individual Source Reduction Plan: California's requirements addressed.
- - Fee Optimization: Utilizing Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to minimize EPR fees.
Due to anticipated demand, two sessions will be available on June 30. The first webinar will start at 10 AM, and the second at 2 PM, each lasting one hour and including a Q&A segment. Interested participants can easily register online through Claigan’s website, ensuring they are fully prepared for the impending packaging compliance requirements.
