What this episode covers

Adam Peek, host of The People of Packaging Podcast and TLMI member, reports from the TLMI Annual Meeting at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, highlighting the industry's tight-knit nature. He details key presentations by Alan Beaulieu of ITR Economics on economic policy, the BMO Industrials Group on M&A trends, and Darla Aryans of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws. Peek emphasizes the significance of Colorado's EPR legislation, which includes a consumer advocacy provision to prevent cost pass-through, and notes the return of M&A activity to pre-pandemic levels despite a recent drop in label volume.
