The Toy Association advocates for uniform packaging regulations in California

The Toy Association’s Erin Raden, senior director of state government affairs, met with legislators and other stakeholders in Sacramento in support of the Association’s advocacy and regulatory work on several priorities, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs and emerging packaging policies. The meetings were part of Ameripen’s Legislative Fly-In, which took place May 13 to 15.

“With a patchwork of packaging policies being proposed across states every day, the Association’s overarching goal is to advocate for uniform legislation and regulation to make compliance easy and effective,” said Ed Desmond, executive vice president of global government & regulatory affairs at The Toy Association. “Meeting with legislators in Sacramento allowed us to further our goal by urging them to avoid creating overlapping laws that make it harder and more expensive for businesses to remain compliant.”
