Atlantic Northeast Technical Expedition: US Circular Policy Leadership Network (September 2024)

Between September 10 - 13, 2024, the Ocean Plastics Leadership Network (OPLN) hosted a remarkable technical exhibition exploring the deposit return systems, extended producer responsibility policies and practices, and re-use and refill systems in Portland, Maine and Montréal, Québec. We brought together 40 participants - from policymakers to major organizations across the beverage container and packaging material value chains - to foster collaboration, experiential learning, and policy development on circular policies.

OPLN is grateful to its partners and participants for their contributions to this valuable, irreplaceable forum for learning and dialogue. Relive the highlights and insights from this impactful expedition, advancing our journey towards a sustainable future!
