Show Notes

This week, host Matt Prindiville chats with Miriam Gordon, Policy Director at Upstream, about the benefits of extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging and the exciting brink we are on for passing these policies in the United States. Learn how EPR supports corporate brand accountability, source reduction and the circular economy – and why it’s important that we leverage the waste reduction hierarchy of reduce and reuse first, before recycling.
