The Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act requires producers of residential and commercial packaging, printing and writing paper, and food serviceware to join a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) and, through the PRO, fund the end of life management of those materials, which includes processing and recycling.  

CAA Oregon is the only PRO with an approved program plan in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approved CAA’s plan on Feb. 21, 2025.

Funding Agreements

CAA Oregon’s funding agreement structure includes a Primary Funding Agreement (PFA) and an individual addendum for each funding stream. The PFA outlines the general terms of the funding relationship, while the addendum provides the specific details and terms of that specific funding stream. 

To receive payment or reimbursement from CAA Oregon, both the PFA and a relevant addendum must be signed by the recipient and CAA. This applies to all communities, service providers, and partner organizations that are applying for funding from CAA, whether for system expansion, glass incentive, transportation, etc. Each funding stream will have its own addendum. 

Learn more about CAA Oregon funding agreements in our Oregon Webinar Series: Funding Agreements Part One, Funding Agreements Part Two 

Producers should not sign the PFA. Producers can visit the Producer Resource Center. There, they will find more information on registration and reporting requirements.  

Primary Funding Agreement (PFA) Process

  1. Download the fillable PFA.  Fill in the necessary information and email to oregoninfo@circularaction.org.

  2. CAA will reach out for your edits and approval.  

  3. When CAA legal counsel finalizes edits, they will send the final PFA for signature via Ironclad. Ironclad provides a digital copy of the final executed PFA for your records. 

If you have questions about the PFA, please contact oregoninfo@circularaction.org

Addendum Consultation Process

  1. Once you sign the PFA, CAA will send you a welcome email with portal login instructions. ​ Make sure serviceproviders.support@circularaction.org is whitelisted in your email spam folder. Check your spam folder if you do not receive a welcome email in 2-3 business days. ​  

  2. A second email will start the addendum consultation. It will provide your CAA specialist’s contact information and introduce the relevant funding applications.   

  3. To facilitate the addendum process, a CAA specialist will work with you to complete an application for each relevant funding addendum. We will prioritize addendum consultations for glass, transportation, and CRPFs. Please hold off on any edits to an addendum until its corresponding application is approved. At that point, CAA legal counsel will reach out for addenda edits, if applicable.

  4. CAA legal counsel will contact you with each final addendum. You can edit and approve them before the execution of the Ironclad process.  

  5. When CAA legal counsel finalizes edits, they will send the final addendum for signature via Ironclad. Ironclad provides a digital copy of the final executed addendum for your records. 

    Please Note:  

    • Please direct comments to oregoninfo@circularaction.org.  We aim to reply to inquiries within 2 business days.​ If you do not hear from us within a week of your consultation, please reach out.​  

    • You can add addenda for additional funding streams later under the same PFA.
