On December 5, 2024, the Maine Board of Environmental Protection adopted Stewardship Program for Packaging, 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 428 (2024). According to 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 428, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) must initiate a formal rulemaking process for the contents of Appendix A, the Packaging Material Types List, within 270 days of the effective date of the rule.
In preparation for the formal rulemaking process, the Department is holding an additional stakeholder meeting to facilitate discussion and to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to share comments and ask questions on the second DRAFT Initial Packaging Material Type List. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm EDT. To accommodate for the short timetable the meeting will only be offered virtually. Use the following link to RSVP for the meeting: Stakeholder Meeting for Packaging Program.
The background document outlines the most frequently addressed comments from stakeholders regarding the first DRAFT Initial Packaging Material Types List and the Department’s response to these comments, including links to supporting documents.
