For 25 years, PSI has been the organization helping governments, producers, and communities turn EPR laws into real-world solutions. From convening tough dialogues and harmonizing packaging policies, to troubleshooting implementation challenges and training the next generation of practitioners, our small team is constantly working to make product stewardship fairer, smarter, and more effective.

Your gift to PSI’s 25 for 25 campaign fuels that work—supporting new EPR toolkits, hands-on technical assistance, modernized program models, and the education that keeps stakeholders aligned as the policy landscape rapidly evolves.

A Foundational Organization
PSI helped introduce EPR into the U.S. policy conversation and has been at the center of nearly every major product stewardship breakthrough for the past 25 years. We’re the backbone that governments, producers, and NGOs trust when they need honest analysis and a fair process.

Depth and Breadth of Staff Experience
Our team includes former state and local officials who launched the first EPR programs in their jurisdictions; public health professionals who connect product choices to community health; and technical experts in mapping and GIS who can literally put equity and access on the map. We also bring bipartisan legislative analysis and legislator education, along with seasoned consensus-building and facilitation, so policy development is both technically sound and politically realistic.

By the Stakeholders, For the Stakeholders
Because we work with all sides—governments, producers, recyclers, advocates—PSI is continuously learning from the people on the front lines. We turn those lessons into better models, clearer guidance, and more practical implementation support. Your donation keeps that feedback loop alive, ensuring that EPR systems are shaped by the stakeholders who depend on them.
