The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.\n\nThe producer hierarchy decides who answers for a pack when several businesses touch it. For Colorado, the dataset names the following roles for each packaging level.\n\n**Who is the producer in Colorado, by packaging level**\n\n| Packaging level | Producer roles recorded |\n| --- | --- |\n| other packaging | first distributor |\n| primary (sales) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |\n| shipping packaging | packer or shipper |\n\nIn Colorado, the party that carries the obligation by default is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, and importer.\n\n> the person that is the licensee of a brand or trademark under which a packaged item is sold or distributed in the state\n>\n> Source: Producer hierarchy (https://colorado.public.law/statutes/crs_25-17-703), Retrieved: September 29, 2026, Language: en\n\nWhether the obligation can be transferred in Colorado: not yet published. Reason: The sections read (703, 709, 710, 713) do not say whether obligations can be assigned by contract. Sections 25-17-705 to 708 were not read.\n\nWhether affiliates are counted together in Colorado: not yet published. Reason: The exemption text does not say whether affiliate revenue aggregates. CAA asks producers to list affiliated producers in the supply report, which suggests it matters, but no rule text was found.\n\nWhere a revenue test applies in Colorado, it is measured on realised gross total revenue over prior calendar year, in USD.\n\nRoles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into Colorado through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting."

A value marked \"not yet published\" has no verified source yet; we show the reason instead of a number.\n\nQuotes are shown in the language of the source with a labelled summary in English. The summary helps you read; the quote is what the source says. If the two ever differ, the quote governs.\n\nColorado has 11 of 16 core fields verified. The remaining 5 are listed in the overview. When one of them is published, the page changes and the \"last verified\" date moves; until then, the safest assumption is that the answer is unknown, not that it is no."

"kind": "body",
"markdown": "\n\n## What is still open for Colorado\n\nColorado has 5 of 16 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below.\n\n- **Transfer of the obligation**: Reason recorded: The sections read (703, 709, 710, 713) do not say whether obligations can be assigned by contract. Sections 25-17-705 to 708 were not read.\n- **Treatment of affiliates**: Reason recorded: The exemption text does not say whether affiliate revenue aggregates. CAA asks producers to list affiliated producers in the supply report, which suggests it matters, but no rule text was found.\n- **Labelling**: Reason recorded: Statute sections other than 703, 709, 710 and 713 were not read, so a marking rule, if any, is unconfirmed.\n- **Targets**: Reason recorded: CDPHE gives a projection for the approved plan, not a statutory producer target. The statutory targets in the sections not read are unconfirmed.\n- **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: No page states a filing language. English is the working assumption."

Below, each open field for Colorado is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.\n\n- **Transfer of the obligation**: Transfer rules say whether you can hand the duty to a distributor or a service provider; until they are published, assume the duty stays with you.\n- **Treatment of affiliates**: Whether affiliates are added together affects group companies; keep group revenue and tonnage by entity.\n- **Labelling**: Labelling rules decide whether a pack needs a mark or a sorting instruction; check pack artwork before printing a large run.\n- **Targets**: Targets show how fast the rules are expected to tighten, which helps you plan for higher fees later.\n- **Filing languages**: The filing language decides whether you need a translation of your report; confirm before you prepare the file.\n\nWe re-check open fields when a source changes and when a reviewer flags one. If you hold a primary source that answers an open field for Colorado, the data-gaps page explains how to send it; we publish a field only after we can cite the source and its date."

"kind": "boilerplate",
"markdown": "\n\n## What this means for different sellers in Colorado\n\nBecause Colorado records a packaging EPR obligation, each of the following sellers should expect to do some work. What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.\n\n#### A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods\n\nYou are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into Colorado by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.\n\n#### An importer or reseller of branded goods\n\nImporters are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.\n\n#### A seller that ships through an online marketplace\n\nSome regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for Colorado; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.\n\n#### A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year\n\nCompare your figures with the 3 verified thresholds above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief."

"markdown": "\n\n## Common mistakes with Colorado packaging EPR\n\nMost problems with packaging EPR do not come from the rule itself; they come from a few repeated slips. These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for Colorado.\n\n- Treating \"not yet published\" as \"no\". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.\n- Using another place's threshold. Colorado sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.\n- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.\n- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.\n- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.\n- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.\n\nThe records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser."

Whether you are the producer depends on the roles listed for each packaging level.\n\n### Who is the regulator in Colorado?\n\nThe regulator recorded for Colorado is Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Solid Waste and Materials Management Program.\n\n### Is there a small-business threshold in Colorado?\n\nColorado records 3 verified thresholds; see the table above for the amounts and what each one changes.\n\n### When are filings due in Colorado?\n\nColorado records 2 verified deadlines; they are listed with the period each covers.\n\n### Do I have to register in Colorado?\n\nYes, the dataset records that registration is required in Colorado.\n\n### Does Instica file my report?\n\nNo. We measure your packaging, estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file. You review it, sign it and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores regulator-portal credentials.\n\n### How do I know the data is current?\n\nEach record shows the source address and the date we retrieved it. This page was last verified on September 29, 2026.\n\n### Can I rely on this page for a decision?\n\nIt summarizes published sources to help you prepare. For a decision that carries real risk, ask the regulator or a qualified adviser."
