Oregon packaging producer responsibility
SB 582 — Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (2021)
Oregon's Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (SB 582, 2021) creates a statewide recycling system funded by producer fees. Circular Action Alliance is Oregon's approved PRO and began charging fees to member producers on July 1, 2025, the first US packaging EPR program to do so. Producers report supply data to CAA every year and pay fees on CAA's published fee schedule.
