Circular Action Alliance Urges Producers to Take Action Now to Ensure Compliance

WASHINGTON, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With the March 31, 2025, deadline for Oregon's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) packaging law fast approaching, producers must take immediate steps to comply with new regulatory requirements. The law requires producers to contribute to the responsible management of packaging waste, supporting a more sustainable and efficient recycling system. Affected packaging materials include plastic containers, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and paper-based packaging.

Circular Action Alliance (CAA), a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) dedicated to implementing effective Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for paper and packaging in the United States, is dedicated to helping producers navigate this transition with expert guidance, resources, and streamlined compliance solutions.

"Producers play a crucial role in building a more sustainable future for packaging waste management in Oregon," said Kim Holmes, Oregon Executive Director, CAA. "By taking action now, businesses can ensure compliance, avoid potential penalties, and play a meaningful role in modernizing the recycling system in Oregon. "

Key Compliance Support Resources Available from CAA:

  • Producer Resource Center – FAQs, support documents, and other essential materials.

  • Webinars – Informative sessions covering onboarding, registration, agreements, and budgeting for EPR fees.

  • Information Sessions & Education – Workshops and educational events to assist with reporting.

  • Reporting Guidance – Detailed instructions for meeting reporting requirements.

  • Producer Portal – An online platform for easy access to compliance resources and support.

"As the Oregon reporting deadline approaches, we strongly encourage producers to take proactive steps and utilize the support available through CAA," said Geoffrey Inch, Senior Vice President, Producer Services, CAA.
