Sherry E. Jackman

Environmental Partner Sherry Jackman will be a panelist during American Conference Institute's (ACI) EPR Think Tank, taking place January 27-28, 2026, in New York.

Session Description: 

After CalRecycle’s revised draft regulations in what makes the nation’s most ambitious EPR rollout, we now face a tight and uncertain compliance window under California’s SB 54. Let’s take a deeper dive into this uniquely complex and legally risky law, compared to other state programs.

  • Unpacking the legal implications of California’s 100% recyclability, compostability, or reuse mandate by 2032
  • Analyzing how overlapping laws such as AB 1201 (compostability labeling) and AB 343 (recyclability claims) create additional compliance burdens
  • Reviewing strategies for navigating the reporting challenges and preparing for enforcement
