Event Overview
2026 has been a transformative year for packaging sustainability and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations across the United States. As organizations continue to navigate evolving requirements, many are re-evaluating packaging strategies, data management practices, compliance programs, and investment priorities.
Join ERM for an interactive, moderator-led discussion featuring industry leaders who are actively addressing these challenges. Together, we'll reflect on key lessons learned in 2026 and explore practical actions organizations can take to prepare for 2027 and beyond.
This is an informal, peer-to-peer conversation conducted under the Chatham House Rule. While the discussion will feature a panel of industry representatives, attendees are encouraged to bring questions, share experiences, and participate in the conversation.
Discussion Topics
The discussion will explore topics such as:
- How organizations are evolving packaging strategies, priorities, reporting, and implementation plans for 2027
- "No-regrets" actions companies can take today to prepare for future regulatory developments
- Packaging data quality, governance, and reporting challenges
- Demonstrating business value and measurable outcomes from sustainable packaging and compliance initiatives
- Prioritizing resources and responding to an increasingly complex EPR regulatory landscape
Why Attend

This discussion offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from peers, learn from real-world experiences, and gain practical insights that can help inform planning and decision-making for 2027.
