How New Packaging Laws May Affect Your Business

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging is a policy approach that holds manufacturers more responsible for the packaging they use and its lifecycle. The purpose is to promote the use of less and more easily recyclable materials and ensure that those materials are recycled after use. As more states look to adopt laws that increase producer responsibility for packaging, it is critical that your business understands the evolving requirements you may need to follow to comply with these new regulations.

Doubling Down on DEI: Why Recent Backlash Shouldn’t Dissuade the Bike Industry From Doing the Right Thing

Join PeopleForBikes and DEI experts from the Avarna Group for valuable insights on navigating this backlash and learn strategies to help your business make meaningful progress. It is more important than ever to continue prioritizing DEI in the bike industry, and your company can make a difference.

Join PeopleForBikes and a panel of experts to learn about policies that successfully reduce vehicle speeds, street design strategies that lower speeds without impeding emergency response times, and tips for implementing those policies and strategies in your community.
