One of the greatest benefits of AMERIPEN membership is the timely insights into packaging policy that we provide to our members, enabling them to anticipate emerging risks and opportunities for their organizations. Our communications are tailored to various audiences within member companies, with varying levels of detail.
For those in the trenches:
- Comprehensive weekly state legislative tracking reports in several different formats
- Weekly state legislative calls with AMERIPEN’s lobbyists, providing updates, intel, and highlighting AMERIPEN’s engagement in state capitals
- Annual end-of-year legislative report covering all the bills tracked in the last year. In 2025, AMERIPEN tracked nearly 500 bills!
- Extensive weekly state regulatory report on state regulatory activities pertaining to matters impacting the packaging industry value chain, with highlights of recent updates
- Bi-weekly state regulatory calls with AMERIPEN’s regulatory specialist, including insights from state EPR Advisory Commission/Board activities
- Written and/or oral updates at the federal level, when available. (Note that given the high level of engagement on the PACK Act, coalition members meet virtually every other week).
For those needing less frequent updates/a higher level of information:
- Quarterly policy newsletters providing abbreviated legislative and regulatory updates at the state and federal levels
- Quarterly policy webinars featuring AMERIPEN’s consultants providing legislative and regulatory updates at the state and federal levels, along with live Q&A sessions
- Quarterly “key takeaway” slides for executives needing the highest level of updates to inform business strategy, opportunities, and risk management activities
From time to time, AMERIPEN also develops resources to make sense of the growing number of laws impacting the packaging value chain. Examples of those include our detailed comparison charts covering EPR and recycled content laws around the U.S.
Access to these and other members-only resources differ by member type.
