Source Reduction Summit Digital Showcase

Welcome to DLA Piper’s Digital Showcase for the Source Reduction Summit.

As SB 54 and broader EPR frameworks move into implementation, producers and their supply chains are being asked to build and defend source reduction strategies on accelerated timelines, often while navigating evolving guidance and limited precedent.

The Source Reduction Summit is designed for teams doing that work now. It brings together producers, suppliers, and advisors to move beyond high-level concepts and focus on what implementation looks like in practice—from understanding the five reduction pathways to pressure-testing strategies against real-world constraints.

This digital showcase complements those conversations. It brings together targeted insights, practical tools, and regulatory perspectives to help you translate source reduction requirements into actionable, defensible plans. Whether you are refining your approach, evaluating pathways, or aligning internal stakeholders, these materials are designed to support decision-making in real time.

DLA Piper’s team combines deep regulatory experience with a practical understanding of how these requirements are being operationalized across the market. We work alongside clients to navigate complexity, mitigate risk, and implement strategies that are both compliant and commercially viable in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an umbrella term for various regulatory policies that transfer the environmental impact and waste management costs from state and municipal authorities to the producers of consumer products and packaging. EPR approaches require producers to design, fund, and implement systems for the collection, recycling, and disposal of their products and packaging materials.
