supports packaging EPR that enables Producers to have more than one option for compliance by allowing multiple Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) to be approved in each state. The NLCRC believes that EPR programs should deliver on their intent to collect and recycle all packaging materials, regardless of complexity or the unique characteristics of their products, and that the accountable PRO should be obligated to include these hard-to-recycle materials in the PRO Plan’s performance metrics. However, contaminated packaging materials, such as lubricant containers, should remain separated from curbside collections because leaked residual product can devalue other materials. PROs that represent non-curbside covered products, or hard-to-recycle categories such as lubricant containers should include performance targets for collection and recycling these materials in the initial PRO plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/3ae61f91-a583-48ee-a973-2050a4cc4d92/Interchange.jpg EPR - Individual or Alternative Collection Programs The NLCRC supports Individual Program Plans (IPPs), Alternative Collection Programs (ACPs), or similar provisions that allow for multiple Producers (or integrated industries) to develop non-curbside collection and recycling programs independent of the PRO. States with single PROs do not include recycling of hard-to-recycle packaging in their plan, thereby denying lubricant Producers the benefits of a law that claims to promote recycling. Specialized products, such as lubricant containers, require specialized packaging to maintain integrity and prevent safety risks - collection and recycling programs must therefore also be specialized. Producers should have the opportunity to join an individual program or ACP upon approval of state regulations, with similar requirements as the PRO. Participating Producers of an IPP or ACP should not be required to register with both entities for the same products. Independent programs or ACPs should include the establishment of separate covered products and Producer fees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/1ce3c721-da48-41a9-aea6-66d242d9ab31/HHW.jpeg EPR Industry-controlled and Performance-based Approach The NLCRC supports the concept of HHW EPR when it is outcome (performance) focused and opposes HHW EPR that establishes a funding methodology for municipalities without accountability. The NLCRC believes that all used lubricant products should be collected and properly disposed of, and to the extent practical, reused, recycled, or re-refined. Some post-consumer lubricant products are received by municipalities, depots, or collection events in the form of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and there is emerging EPR legislation to reimburse municipalities to manage HHW disposition. Industry should be given direct control over product-specific logistics and disposal versus reimbursements made to municipalities to offset management costs. A thorough assessment of the products collected at HHW facilities should be conducted prior to policy implementation to ensure equity across industries and categories obligated by HHW EPR laws. Because of the high recyclability of used oil, antifreeze, and other lubricant products, the NLCRC favors policies that allows for the separation of lubricant products and packaging from other HHW covered products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/e6256157-7364-45af-ba07-576c5b3f14b6/shutterstock_2422451431.jpg EPR - Fee Transparency The NLCRC supports EPR programs that provide clear and transparent fees to the public and visible to consumers. EPR program funding is allocated to Producers in the form of fees. Unlike similar packaging used in other industries (e.g., consumer products), fees are greater for hard-to-recycle packaging, which includes lubricant products, due to the added complexity of collecting, transporting, sorting, and recycling of contaminated materials. Producers subject to regulatory packaging requirements that result in hard-to-recycle materials face significant financial impacts under EPR programs, which can be especially challenging for small businesses. Following the Canada EPR models for lubricant packaging and products, the NLCRC supports transparency in fee structures for environmental handling costs. This approach allows all businesses to remain competitive, ensuring a level playing field. When fee transparency is restricted, costs (similar to a tax) are “hidden” from consumers, preventing them from making purchasing decisions based on environmental choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/4727057f-9c78-4005-abe6-aaf7f6d4d1e8/pallet+%282%29.jpeg EPR - Incentives for Packaging Material Changes The NLCRC believes that EPR programs should focus on the post-consumer collection and recycling system for covered products, and not regulate or incentivize/penalize Producers for changing packaging format choices or material selection, such as source reduction incentives or material bans. The lubricant industry has a long history of ensuring packaging integrity to minimize health and safety risks, and environmental incidents. Recycling laws should not interfere with these obligations or in any way reward or incentivize producers, possibly in the form of fee changes, for reducing the amount of packaging material or switching material types. Any change in packaging format or material should undergo comprehensive testing to ensure safety performance obligations are sustained, and where appropriate, science-based life cycle assessments should be conducted to study the benefits and environmental impacts of packaging material changes. https://www.nationallcrc.com/recyclingprinciples daily 0.75 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/f577bad0-ce12-4c5e-a67f-0ddbf3074995/378980572-huge.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/edb4fde2-7683-4569-966f-6abbae736715/shutterstock_598883912.jpg Recycling - Recycling Technologies The NLCRC supports the implementation of technologies to convert post-consumer plastics, including hard-to-recycle materials, into high-quality feedstock for new packaging materials. Advanced recycling offers a promising solution to complement mechanical recycling by converting a broader range of plastic waste streams into valuable raw materials. Lubricant and related packaging are considered "hard-to-recycle" because of the residual product remaining in the package after use, and when combined with curbside eligible packaging, will cause contamination that de-values the material. Mechanical recycling capacity of hard-to-recycle plastics in the U.S. is limited, and the value of post-consumer mechanically recycled content decreases as the percentage of PCR in packaging increases. To ensure societal goals of recyclability and the NLCRC’s goals for circularity are achievable, the NLCRC endorses any technology capable of recycling lubricant packaging, including advanced recycling. The NLCRC supports advanced recycling processes that consistently yield high-quality outputs suitable for use as substitutes for virgin fossil-based materials. These technologies must operate in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local permitting requirements to ensure environmental and regulatory integrity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/ff639072-f36a-4dc2-8263-9917456c1aac/Flake.jpeg Recycling - Recycled Content Performance Goals The NLCRC supports recycled content legislation when performance goals are based on current market conditions and achievable at scale when factoring infrastructure growth and technology innovation. New (or modifications to) post-consumer recycled (PCR) legislation that seeks to define recycled content goals should include an assessment of the current market performance and capabilities and ensure that safety and environmental design considerations of packaging are sustained. NLCRC supports policy and voluntary measures to increase recycled content that includes advanced recycling and the use of mass balance accounting for substantiating recycled content claims, provided it follows a recognized third-party certification system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605cae1ad9eb1b4b6e2ed380/f6a18abf-afdd-41aa-8608-d45b711c5725/shutterstock_690803008.jpg Recycling Recycled Content Verification The NLCRC supports third-party verification methods for PCR content to confirm that the recycled material claims for packaging are accurate, measurable, and documented. Some state EPR laws include phased-in post-consumer recycled material content requirements for Producers. Certification is necessary to verify the amount of post-consumer recycled material in packaging. Policy and regulatory frameworks should recognize both the “Chain of Custody Segregated model” and the “Mass Balance” verification methods. Verification methods must be backed by independent third-party certification and thorough documentation to guarantee transparency and credibility. Only recycled materials physically incorporated into products or represented by verified credits should be counted.
