Recycling access in Colorado is underdeveloped and unequitable, leading Colorado to be one of the worst states at recycling in the country. A bi-partisan bill in 2022 has the potential to create sustainable funding for expanded, equitable recycling access to all Coloradans statewide. The producer responsibility bill for containers, packaging and paper products will require producers to pay for the recycling of their products and provide access to recycling throughout the state for rural and urban areas and residents of multi-family and single family housing. This policy will generate a consistent supply of recycled materials for manufacturing and incentivize producers to reduce the packaging of their products. 

Join Eco-Cycle’s Rachel Setzke to learn all about how producer responsibility for containers, packaging and paper will create a more equitable recycling system, generate valuable recycled materials for manufacturing and reduce packaging – and how you can help.
