The Challenge
Remaining aware of changes to federal and state laws is challenging, even for the most vigilant company. Failure to adjust business operations or products to meet new laws can have devastating consequences. That was the case for a major supplier of plastic packaging to the food service industry when changes to state laws regulating PFAS (Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances) plastics occurred.
As a result, the supplier had to recall all its products that didn't meet the new law in the state. A competitor swiftly moved in and established itself as a major supplier, a position it still holds today.
The Solution
To prevent future problems, the packaging company turned to Legislation Monitor from Industry Intelligence. This weekly report provides easy-to-understand legislative intelligence covering both federal and state legislative activities with easy-to-read summaries of each update.
Legislation Monitor provides news on important plastic packaging legislation activities, including PFAS plastics, single-use packaging, food service packaging, EPR, recycling and more.
