'MADE in NJ' Manufacturing Day
2025-10-03 09:00 - 15:00 | iPlay America, 110 Schanck Road, Freehold, NJ, 07728, United States
National Manufacturing Day has always been an important way for NJMEP to spread the word about the benefits that manufacturing provides to our Garden State. As a proud supporter of Manufacturing Day, NJMEP is excited to drive awareness of manufacturing, the career opportunities that are available, and the advanced technologies that are driving the industry. For us, every day is Manufacturing Day. NJMEP regularly celebrates manufacturing and inspires the next generation of manufacturers.
‘MADE in NJ’ Manufacturing Day is the state’s largest annual gathering of manufacturers, industry leaders, students, and public officials. This celebration showcases the power of New Jersey manufacturing, connects key stakeholders, and inspires the next generation of creators, makers, and innovators.
What’s New This Year: A Conversation with NJ’s Future Leadership
In a first for the event, both New Jersey gubernatorial candidates — Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli — will appear at separate times to share their visions for manufacturing in the Garden State.
Moderated discussions will give attendees the rare opportunity to hear directly from the state’s potential next Governor on how they plan to support manufacturers, bolster workforce development, and strengthen NJ’s economy.
This is a critical moment for business owners, industry leaders, and professionals to see where the next generation of leadership stands on manufacturing.

NJ Recycled Content Law & Manufacturers – Critical Information, Details, and Next Steps
2025-12-03 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
On January 18th, 2022 the NJ Recycled Content Law was signed which intends to stimulate recycling markets by requiring manufacturers to meet a minimum recycled content standard for regulated containers and packaging products sold or offered for sale in the State.
The law requires Manufacturers to register annually with the Department of Environmental Protection and also to register their “covered products”. Before December 31, 2025 Manufacturers must not only register for calendar year 2025 but they must also submit their 2024 compliance status.
Given that this is the first compliance reporting since the law became effective in 2022, NJMEP turned to our partners Porzio, Bromberg & Newman to clarify identify responsibilities and obligations under the law. The experts from Porzio will walk manufacturers through the critical aspects of the law that will have a direct impact on their business.
In this quick information session, you will receive an overview of the NJ Recycled Content Law, walk away with an understanding of whether the law is applicable to your business and the important compliance deadlines coming up in 4th quarter of 2025.
Be sure to join this conversation to get updated, ask your questions, and find out when and where you can turn to for support.
