The Design for Recyclability Rater is now live in beta. Build a package component by component and it scores the design against APR and How2Recycle recyclability logic, then maps the result to each active EPR state: California from the SB 54 CMC list, Oregon from its Uniform Statewide Collection List, and the other active states shown as pending. You get a DfR score, a recyclable-weight share, likely How2Recycle labels per component, an EPR fee-risk read, and re-scored design moves that raise the score. It is a planning estimate, not a compliance or on-pack-claim determination, and feedback on the tool shapes the next iteration. 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.
