Building on the discussions from January\u2019s Think Tank, this program will explore emerging implementation questions, early compliance experiences, and the next wave of regulatory developments, helping companies turn evolving requirements into practical strategies.<\/p>\r\n        <p>We have curated key panel session recordings from the January conference and paired them with live Q&amp;A discussions featuring the original speakers, giving you a new opportunity to obtain up-to-date insights on what matters most now and engage directly with the \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d of EPR packaging law and regulation.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Whether you\u2019re seeking a mid-year EPR update, missed the January in-person Think Tank, or want to ensure your team is fully aligned on evolving EPR frameworks, join us virtually this June.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"col-xxxs-12 col-md-5 col-lg-5 col-xl-6\">\r\n      <div class=\"img-wrap\">\r\n        <img
