Here is why you need to know about Bags2Zero
EPR laws
EPR laws, holding producers accountable for their products lifecycle are becoming prevalent in the U.S., with six states adopting packaging-specific legislation by 2023. These rules, focusing on managing waste from packaging to e-waste, strive for reduced toxicity and improved recycling rates.
EPR laws by state
EPR laws across six U.S. states shift waste management responsibilities to producers, driving sustainable packaging practices. Targets include full recyclability by 2023 in California, a statewide recycling system in Colorado, reduced landfill waste in Maine, recycling expansion in Oregon, and recycled content mandates in New Jersey and Washington.
Retailers becoming EPR compliant
Retailers can meet EPR law’s requirements by collaborating with suppliers for eco-friendly packaging, initiating in-store recycling, educating consumers, implementing robust tracking systems, partnering with waste management companies, and routinely assessing and reporting progress, contributing to sustainability
Private label strategies that benefit from EPR Laws
Retailers can adhere to EPR and ESG standards by using in-store plastic recycling machines, creating a closed-loop system. This interactive recycling strategy fosters transparency, reduces waste, and enhances customer loyalty, simultaneously promoting sustainability and demonstrating environmental responsibility.
Bags2Zero from a labor perspective
Bags2Zero machines reduce labor hours in stores by compacting plastic bags, minimizing unloading trips compared to traditional recycling bins. This eco-friendly approach encourages customers to choose plastic over paper, speeding up the checkout process and positively impacting the store’s operational efficiency and bottom line
