Boat Wrap Law

The Minnesota Boat Wrap Stewardship Law requires boat wrap producers to take full responsibility for the collection, recycling, and proper disposal of their products. Per the law, beginning September 1, 2025, no person may use, sell, or offer boat wrap for sale in Minnesota unless the producer responsible for that brand participates in an approved stewardship plan. A list of producers participating in the program can be found on the MPCA website.
The SRCLA talked to our local marinas to see how they were interpreting the new law. So far, the law only stipulates that the companies that sell boat wrap to marinas on a wholesale level must be certified. There doesn't appear to be a mechanism in place to implement and enforce the law at the retail/consumer level yet, so we expect more clarification to come from the MN MPCA in the future. We'll provide updates on this as more information becomes available.
