Site Update  |  U.S.  |  June 15, 2026

Several features launched this week: (1) the fee calculators now use California's draft 2027 EPR base fee schedule, sourced from CAA's program plan (Table 5) filed June 15, 2026, with final rates expected October 2026. (2) The Total EPR Fee Estimator added more material categories (gable-top and aseptic cartons, molded fiber, PP and BOPP film, coated paperboard) and a per-state eco-modulation reference panel. (3) A new "EPR fees by state" summary was added to the fee calculator guide. The hub also moved to a cleaner, more consistent layout across all tabs. Source: EPRAtlas.com.

Where this sits

This entry is part of the EPR Atlas weekly update log. Every week the Atlas checks the seven enacted states, the pending and early-stage states, the federal bills, active litigation, and agency rulemaking, then publishes what actually changed. See the full update archive or the live hub.
