CAA is beginning producer registration for companies that expect to be considered obligated producers under California, Colorado, and Oregon EPR laws for paper and packaging.

CAA’s producer registration deadline is July 1, 2024. Completing the form ahead of the July 1, 2024, deadline will enable CAA to notify your company when it is time to accept the applicable requirements of CAA’s producer responsibility program plans.

CAA delivered a comprehensive assessment of Colorado’s current recycling system to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, completing an important step toward implementing Colorado’s EPR law for packaging and paper products and demonstrating the program’s potential to more than double the state’s current recycling rate for these materials.

CAA would like to extend its gratitude to our Founding Members for the support they provided in our inaugural year and to our readers and the wider community for their continued engagement with us as we prepare for the implementation of EPR laws.

Be sure to visit CAA’s Producer Resource Center to view updated FAQs, such as: What is the difference between “covered materials/products” and “covered material categories”? Why are they important?
