Since July 2021, when Maine passed the nation's first extended producer responsiblity ("EPR") packaging law, four other states (Colorado, Oregon, California, and Maryland) have enacted EPR packaging laws. For brevity, we refer to these laws as packaging laws, but other non-packaging materials are covered under these laws (varying from state to state) including certain paper products and foodservice ware -- with plastics as a targeted material in all these programs.

Baltimore bridge collapses after powerless cargo ship rams into support column; 6 people are missing
Startribune
BALTIMORE — A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing the span to buckle into the river below and plunging a construction crew and several vehicles into the dangerously cold waters. Rescuers pulled out two people, but six others were missing. The ship's crew issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland's governor said.
