Colorado's HB22-1355 requires producers of covered products to register, report material data, and pay fees — regardless of where your brand is based. First annual reports are due this spring.
Colorado's producer responsibility program is administered by CDPHE. It creates mandatory registration, data reporting, and fee payment obligations for any producer selling covered products into the state.
Register with a CDPHE-approved Producer Responsibility Organization or directly with the state. Registration enables your brand to legally sell covered products in Colorado.
Submit material data reports covering all covered packaging sold into Colorado. The 2026 reporting cycle has closed. Reports must meet CDPHE's data quality standards.
Fee rates are set by your PRO and assessed on covered material volume. Brands that design for recyclability may qualify for reduced eco-modulation rates.
You are likely covered if you sell into Colorado with any of the following packaging types:
Thresholds for small-producer exemptions are assessed across all products sold into Colorado — not per SKU.
