The Colorado General Assembly's Joint Budget Committee (JBC) accepted the recommendation of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) to adopt the “medium scenario” outlined in the Circular Action Alliance (CAA) needs assessment report. This important milestone means that CAA, the producer responsibility organization, can proceed with implementing Colorado's Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling of packaging and paper products.
The medium implementation scenario is projected to double the state's recycling rate of covered materials by 2035 and will provide expanded access to curbside and drop-off center recycling at no cost to residents or local governments.
