Minnesota Packaging EPR Compliance
Packaging Waste and Cost Reduction Act
HF 3577 establishes Minnesota's EPR framework for packaging. Producers must join an approved PRO, register covered materials, and pay fees that fund statewide collection and processing. The MPCA oversees program implementation.
Key Producer Requirements
- Join a state-approved Producer Responsibility Organization
- Register all covered packaging sold into Minnesota
- Pay PRO fees based on material weight and recyclability
- Comply with reporting obligations set by the approved PRO plan
Compliance Deadlines
Minnesota's EPR program is in early implementation. A statewide needs assessment is due by December 31, 2026. Producers must maintain active annual registration with the CAA and state commissioner. De minimis exemption: under 1 metric ton of covered material or under $2M in global gross revenue. Full stewardship fees begin January 1, 2029.
