Every upcoming EPR and PPWR compliance deadline in one place — registration, reporting, and fee payment dates across all US states, EU, and UK.
Most of the US dates below come from the seven enacted US state EPR laws behind these dates. The proposed bills in New Jersey and New York have no operative deadlines. The European entries follow EU PPWR phase-in obligations.
Once a European filing date is on your calendar, the next question is what it will cost: current PRO fee rates for 11 EU member states are published with their source and verification date.

Three US deadlines have already closed this year: Oregon's annual reporting and Maryland's SB 901 registration on May 31, 2026, and Washington's producer registration on July 1, 2026. Producers who missed any of them should register with the relevant PRO immediately to limit further exposure. Attention now shifts to California SB 54, where CAA issues its first fee invoices in January 2027, and to the EU PPWR, which has applied since August 12, 2026. For what a compliance calendar should track beyond the due date itself, see the definition in our glossary.
