RLG Reflects on EPR Leadership at ACI’s Think Tank in NYC
RLG had the privilege of participating in a panel as part of the American Conference Institute’s (ACI) EPR Think Tank in New York City, a premier gathering of extended producer responsibility (EPR) and sustainability professionals across North America. The event brought together key stakeholders to address the growing complexity of EPR legislation and the business-critical need for strategic compliance.
RLG proudly joined the conversation on a featured panel titled: “Decoding EPR Compliance and Navigating Producer Obligations, Regulatory Gaps and Business Impact.” The session offered attendees an in-depth look at the rapidly evolving packaging EPR landscape in the US, spotlighting the real-world hurdles producers face and highlighting effective strategies for staying ahead of changing regulations.
Reflecting on the day
Alexandra Sottile, Environmental Compliance Manager, shared this reflection from the session:
“During my panel session at the American Conference Institute’s (ACI) EPR Think Tank last week in New York City, we unpacked the challenges producers are facing and highlighted best practices for navigating the ever-evolving packaging EPR landscape in the US. It was truly empowering to be a part of an all-female panel engaging in a dynamic and insightful discussion that emphasized the value of proactive engagement and the need for businesses to remain responsive and well-prepared as regulatory frameworks continue to expand. It is always energizing to connect with passionate industry experts working toward a more circular economy.”
The EPR Think Tank served as a timely reminder that collaboration, foresight, and cross-sector dialogue are essential as we move toward a more sustainable, circular future. RLG remains committed to helping producers meet their compliance obligations while turning challenges into opportunities for environmental leadership.
