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.

Description
On July 8, 2026, importers of regulated consumer products were required to begin electronically filing certificate of compliance data with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) revised certificate rule (16 CFR part 1110). The requirement expanded on January 8, 2027, to include products entered for consumption or warehousing from foreign trade zones (FTZs).
With several months of implementation underway, this webinar will explore early enforcement trends, common compliance challenges, and lessons learned. Speakers will discuss how CPSC and CBP are implementing the requirements, common filing errors that can lead to shipment holds, examinations, and delays, and early experiences following the January FTZ deadline.
Designed for manufacturers, importers, and sellers of products subject to CPSC regulations, this webinar will provide practical insight for companies across the household and commercial products industry, including aerosol, air care, cleaning, and floor care products.
The webinar will include an opportunity for audience questions.
What You Will Learn
- Early Enforcement Trends: How CPSC and CBP are implementing eFiling requirements, including the impact of missing or incomplete certificate data on entry risk assessments, holds, and examinations.
- Common Filing Errors: Frequent compliance issues, including incomplete certificate data, incorrect use of Disclaim codes, and confusion between testing and certificate exemption.
- Filing Methods and Access: Key considerations when choosing between the Full PGA Message Set and the Reference PGA Message Set (CPSC Product Registry), including managing broker and laboratory access.
- General Certificates of Conformity: Requirements for non-children's products, including reasonable testing programs and identifying applicable regulations.
- FTZ Compliance: Early experiences and compliance challenges following the January 8, 2027, implementation deadline.
- Compliance Best Practices: Practical strategies for recordkeeping, certificate maintenance, and responding to CPSC or CBP requests.
