Producer Policies
Circular Action Alliance (CAA) is responsible for establishing and maintaining policies that define producer obligations under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws and participation in the Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO). These policies set forth the specific requirements producers must meet—covering registration, reporting, and fee payment—in order to remain in good standing and fully compliant with both state EPR programs and CAA’s participation agreements. CAA retains sole authority to develop, interpret, and amend these policies as needed to uphold regulatory compliance, ensure equitable treatment across producers, and support the effective administration of EPR responsibilities. For questions about CAA producer policies, please contact producer.support@circularaction.org.
Registration Policy
The Registration Policy establishes standards amongst Producers seeking Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance services, as outlined in the Participant Producer Agreement (PPA) or a state addendum (collectively, the "Agreement"), from Circular Action Alliance (CAA) in states where CAA operates as a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
Reporting Policy
The Reporting Policy outlines the requirements for Producers to report the supply data necessary for determining fees under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs operated by Circular Action Alliance (CAA) in its role as a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
Payment Policy
The Payment Policy establishes standards for Circular Action Alliance (CAA) Participants in making payments to CAA. This policy ensures fairness and equity for all Participants by promoting on-time reporting and payment and by recovering the costs of pursuing late reports and payments from Participants.
