Vermont HHP Webinar

November 10, 2026

Complimentary Webinar – Vermont HHP

What’s Next for Vermont’s Groundbreaking Household Hazardous Products Law?
November 10, 2026

Speakers:

· Andriana Kontovrakis, Director of EPR Solutions, Reverse Logistics Group

· Denise Diorio McVeigh, EPR Services and Stakeholder Engagement Manager, Reverse Logistics Group

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) recently published a draft collection plan for implementation of the first-in-the-nation Household Hazardous Product (HHP) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law, tackling end-of-life management for household hazardous waste. The draft plan is the first preview of what practical next steps may be required of obligated manufacturers.

ANR is running the HHP program itself after no industry-led organization stepped in to serve as a producer responsibility organization (PRO). The law’s scope is broad and there is no trade group that represents all, or even most, of the covered products.

Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) is providing critical program implementation support. RLG has been contracted by ANR to support manufacturer outreach and education regarding registration requirements, covered product reporting, and billing.

Hear from RLG on what issues are top of mind for the agency, RLG’s role and how it differs from a traditional PRO setup, what manufacturers can expect to see in 2027, and how to best provide input and get involved with shaping implementation of this groundbreaking law.
