EPR Legislation introduced in 2024, so far Hawaii Makes Waves with Game-Changing EPR Legislation 🌺 The sustainability tide is rising, and businesses need to be ready. Hawaii is poised to become the latest state to embrace Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging waste, signaling a major shift in how companies will need to handle their environmental impact. Two transformative bills are advancing through the Hawaii Legislature: H.B. 1688 - Establishing a framework for Hawaii's transition to a circular economy S.B. 2368 - Creating a comprehensive EPR program for packaging waste 🚨 Why This Matters for your Business: EPR legislation is gaining momentum across the U.S. Companies will soon be DIRECTLY responsible for their packaging's end-of-life Early adapters will gain competitive advantage Those who wait may face significant compliance costs The message is clear: The future of business is circular. Hawaii's move follows similar initiatives in states like Maine, Oregon, and California. This isn't just another environmental regulation – it's a fundamental restructuring of how we think about product lifecycle responsibility. Are you prepared for the EPR revolution? The time to act is now. 💡 What steps is your organization taking to prepare for EPR legislation? Stay ahead of the curve! Follow us for EPR legislation updates across the United States, expert insights on compliance strategies, and practical solutions for your business.

 Initially, CIRT used early versions of AI Image Recognition to create a chatbot to answer the question "Can I Recycle This?" (the origin of our acronym). However, it wasn't standing up to testing. Fast forward to 2024, the Google Gemini AI Development Competition allows the creation of a recycling solution using Gemini's brain power and CIRT's robust and accurate database. Thank you to Google for this opportunity to innovate in the API industry. Thank you to CIRT's development team for creating an amazing submission for Google's competition. Last chance to vote!
