Producers Must Report Supply Data to CAA by July 31 to Comply with Colorado's Packaging EPR Law

WASHINGTON, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Producers selling packaging, paper products, and food serviceware into Colorado must report supply data to Circular Action Alliance (CAA) by July 31, 2025, to remain in compliance with the state's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law. The reporting requirement is a critical step in the law's implementation and Colorado's transition to a circular, producer-funded recycling system. CAA serves as the designated Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) in Colorado.

The new EPR law, enacted under Colorado's Producer Responsibility Act, requires obligated producers to report data on the types and quantities of covered materials they supply into the Colorado market. This data is essential to set the 2026 Colorado Producer Fee Rate Schedule, which will be directly informed by actual producer supply data submitted to CAA by the July 31, 2025 reporting deadline.

"Colorado's new recycling system is driven by producers, and participation of all producers is the foundation for a system that works better for everyone," said Geoffrey Inch, SVP of Producer Services, Circular Action Alliance. "With the July 31 deadline fast approaching, we urge all producers to act now and submit their Colorado producer supply reports on time, to comply with the law and ensure an efficient transition into the next phase of Colorado's EPR implementation."

To remain in compliance with Colorado law, producers must submit supply data by the July 31, 2025 reporting deadline. CAA is available to support producers through this process and to help ensure reports are submitted on time and accurately.
