Circular Action Alliance is a non-profit PRO founded by consumer goods producers to administer packaging EPR in the United States. It has been selected as the PRO in California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington, which makes it the single most important counterparty for any producer with US obligations.
The practical benefit is a shared registration and reporting surface across multiple states. The practical limit is that state rules still govern: covered material lists, reporting units, fee schedules and deadlines are set state by state, so one CAA account does not mean one dataset. A producer still needs state-resolved tonnage.
Maine is the notable exception, using a stewardship organisation contracted to the state rather than the CAA model, so producers with Maine exposure should expect a separate operational relationship.
A collective scheme that producers join to discharge their EPR obligations, handling registration, reporting infrastructure, fee collection and recycling contracts.
California's Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, the most demanding US packaging EPR law.
The packaging and paper categories that a specific EPR program regulates, defining exactly what must be reported and paid for.
Packgine resolves your packaging to component level and applies the rules of every market you sell into.
