New York has introduced packaging EPR legislation that, if enacted, would require producers to register with a state-designated Producer Responsibility Organization, report packaging data, and pay eco-modulated fees. The bill has advanced through committee discussions and remains under active consideration in the state legislature. While New York's program is not yet law, the state's large consumer market makes it one of the most impactful potential EPR jurisdictions in the US. Brands selling into New York should monitor legislative progress and begin preparing packaging data infrastructure to be ready if and when the law takes effect.
