EPR Reimbursement: Who Gets Paid in CO, OR, and CA

Christine Yeager breaks down extended producer responsibility (EPR) funding models across Colorado, Oregon, and California. While producers pay for full recycling costs in Colorado, only two out of seven states with packaging EPR laws fully fund the system. Christine details the differences between net cost and incremental cost structures to clarify how states reimburse service providers and collection programs. She outlines available fee exemptions and reduction pathways for producers operating private take-back systems. Understanding these state-specific nuances helps CPG leaders optimize compliance budgets and capture available fee offsets.
