EPR program for paint recommended to Legislature

The EPR Commission recommends that the Massachusetts Legislature enact legislation on or before July 31, 2026 establishing an Extended Producer Responsibility program for paint.  The Commission recommends the development and implementation of a program (e.g.,  PaintCare) that aligns with programs already in place in other Northeast states  (Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New York), to provide consistency across the region.  See full recommendation including background.
