How to prepare for e-Stewards Certification

The EU is currently addressing regulatory complexity through "simplification omnibuses", a series of targeted legislative packages designed to enhance competitiveness, ease burdens for businesses by harmonizing rules, streamlining processes, all while maintaining robust environmental standards and a functional European single market. While omnibuses target various sectors, the following ones are relevant for Avery Dennison’s key industries: 🔹 Sustainability reporting: Simplifying environmental and social impact reports through changes to the CSRD, CD3D and EU Taxonomy Regulation. 🔹 Single market simplifications: Making it smoother for businesses to operate across EU countries; for example, using the DPP to digitalize product information and reduce reliance on documentation. 🔹 Environmental rules: Streamlining laws on circular economy, industrial emissions, and waste management. Key files include the Waste Framework Directive and Industrial Emissions Directive. 🔹 Chemical simplification: Aiming to simplify and speed up the management of chemical risk in the EU without hindering critical uses for the EU’s green and digital transitions. Across these initiatives, the Digital Product Passport is often indicated as a critical tool to manage product information and demonstrate compliance, offering a significant opportunity to reduce administrative complexities and enhance competitiveness. We are committed to enabling this transition, connecting the physical and digital to help businesses meet these evolving EU requirements and drive sustainable progress.

♻️ Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is reshaping product stewardship in the U.S. With packaging, paper, and textiles now at the forefront of new state-level legislation, producers face expanding compliance obligations and a pivotal opportunity to support the transition to a circular economy.    EPR is more than regulation. It’s a catalyst for:  ✅ Designing more sustainable products  ✅ Reducing landfill waste  ✅ Scaling recycling infrastructure  ✅ Driving accountability across value chains    As deadlines approach in Maine, Oregon, California, Colorado, Minnesota, and beyond, producers need to prepare today: assess coverage, confirm “producer” status, stay ahead of evolving laws, and engage with Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs). This article breaks down where current and proposed EPR laws stand in 2025, what’s next for packaging, paper products, and textiles and how businesses can act now to stay compliant while contributing to global sustainability goals. 📖 Read the full article to understand the state-by-state EPR landscape and how your business can get ready: https://shorturl.at/tytci #sustainability #circulareconomy #extendedproducerresponsibility #epr #ESG #wastereduction #compliance #recycling #producerresponsibility #QIMAblog
