Final Plan Approved for Colorado’s Producer Responsibility Program
Circular Action Alliance (CAA) is proud to announce that the plan to implement Colorado’s House Bill 22-1355, the Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling Act, was officially approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). This approval marks a significant milestone in the state’s transition to a 100% producer-funded, statewide system for recycling packaging and paper products. The final plan reflects the leadership of CAA and the results of collaboration among producers of packaging and paper products, CDPHE, local governments, businesses, nonprofits, recyclers and communities across Colorado. The program is projected to more than double the state’s recycling rate for packaging and paper by 2035.
