Advisory Groups
At its May 21, 2025 meeting, the Extended Producer Responsibility Commission voted to establish two advisory groups: (a) electronics and (b) plastics and packaging. Advisory groups are charged with gathering information on existing extended producer responsibility programs, identifying questions and additional information, and sharing this information with the EPR Commission to assist in developing policy recommendations.
MassDEP will facilitate the advisory groups. While some Commission members will participate, we are also seeking participation from the public. Each advisory group will meet at least twice between June and September 2025. Initial meetings are as follows:
Electronics Advisory Group – Meeting #1
Monday, June 30, 2025, 1–3 p.m.
