As states implement new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs for packaging, one complex but crucial issue is emerging: how recycled content is measured. The plastics industry is increasingly promoting mass balance accounting \u2014 a system that allows producers to claim \u201crecycled\u201d content on paper without physically using recycled materials.<\/p>\n

Join us as we break down how these accounting methods work, what\u2019s unfolding in Colorado\u2019s EPR implementation, and why getting this right is essential to protecting recycling integrity and driving real waste reduction.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
