PEPA Industry Insider: Navigating the New Frontier of EPR for Polymeric Exterior Building Products

This webinar is exclusively for PEPA members only. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is quickly becoming a reality across North America—bringing major implications for polymeric exterior building products like vinyl siding, cellular PVC and composites. What was once a future concern is now an active, state-by-state regulatory landscape reshaping compliance, costs and product lifecycle management.

The Regulatory Landscape

There is no single federal standard—only a growing patchwork of state programs.

• Active programs: Oregon and Colorado (2026 fees underway)
• Exemptions: Are exemptions being considered for non-consumer products such as our members materials? 
• Coming soon: California (SB 54 early fees), Maine (reporting begins May)
• Key deadlines: Minnesota, Maryland and Washington require PRO registration and reporting by May 31
• What’s next: Legislation advancing in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, Virginia and beyond

What You’ll Learn

• Compliance & Costs: Who qualifies as a “producer” and how fees are calculated
• Operational Readiness: How to prepare for reporting requirements and deadlines
• Cost Mitigation: Using recycled content to reduce EPR fees
• Advocacy: Where and how to engage in active rulemaking

Why Attend

If you manufacture or distribute polymeric exterior building products, this webinar will give you the clarity and next steps needed to navigate EPR requirements and stay ahead of rapidly evolving regulations.
