Site Update

The State Map and State Deep Dive tabs are now one "State Tracker" tab. Pick a state on the map or in the all-states table and its full profile opens in place: fees, an anticipated fee-trajectory signal, eco-modulation, covered-products scope and exclusions, design-compliance pressure, responsible-producer and reporting guidance, and design levers (PCR, source reduction, and toxics). The seven enacted states also link to their standalone state pages. Oregon adds a producer compliance lookup that draws on the searchable registry of compliant members that ORS 459A.869(8) requires the producer responsibility organization to publish on its website.

(Corrected October 7, 2026: ORS 459A.869(8) requires the producer responsibility organization, not the state, to publish a searchable registry of its compliant members on its website.)
