Thank you to everyone who joined us for PSI’s 25th Anniversary Forum, held June 3-5, 2025 in Wheeling, Illinois!

For more than two decades, PSI’s U.S. Product Stewardship Forum has been the go-to event for meaningful content and in-depth conversations on the EPR issues that matter most. It continues to be ranked by participants as the best EPR conference in the U.S., thanks to the caliber and expertise of speakers and the broad range of stakeholder perspectives represented—including private industry, all levels of government, environmental groups, academics, and international organizations.

The PSI Forum provided a wonderful opportunity to connect and have meaningful and in-depth conversations with others working to find solutions to how we can move the solid waste industry from a linear system to a more circular economy.
