Site Update  |  U.S.  |  August 3, 2026

EPR Atlas has been running for about two and a half months. What conversations with companies kept showing is that no two are at the same point: some are still working out whether they are obligated at all, some registered months ago and are now looking at what the fee actually depends on. The site was organized around subject matter, which serves the second group and leaves the first guessing. This version is organized around the journey instead. The Overview opens with a stage selector that gives you three concrete moves for wherever you are, the tools are gathered under one Toolkit with each one on its own page, and every page now carries the same navigation so you can get back to any tab from anywhere. Nothing was removed. The state detail, the fee schedules, the litigation tracking and the evidence labels are all still there, and every figure still carries the date it was last checked against its primary source.

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.
