Dates the sources have not published yet
Colorado also has 2 entries that no primary source supports yet. They are shown as not yet published, with the reason, and they never appear as a date.
- Not yet published: other date. Reason: CDPHE gives a season, not a date.
- Not yet published: report deadline. Reason: No Colorado report date was on the CAA or CDPHE pages read.
Who sets and receives these dates
Colorado: Registration runs through Circular Action Alliance producer portal; the party that registers is described as The producer, with CAA. Producers of applicable petroleum and automotive products register with Interchange 360. The dates above are the ones that registry and its programme publish, so they are the ones your filings are measured against.
Producers meet the duty through one of several producer responsibility organisations; the organisations named in the data are Circular Action Alliance, Interchange 360 (automotive lubricant packaging, individual programme); membership of the organisation is required. Programmes can publish their own dates, such as invoice days, next to the dates of the authority, and both kinds of date are listed when a source states them.
The file that goes with the date
Colorado: the recipient has not yet published a file layout for these reports, so the data holds no layout to show. Instica does not fill the gap with a guess; the report-format page records what is still open. When the layout is published, Instica prepares the file in it from your measured and estimated quantities, and you upload it yourself.

Questions about Colorado EPR deadlines
When is the Colorado EPR report due?
The data lists no verified report date for Colorado. Other kinds of date are listed above with their sources; a report date appears here once a primary source states it.
Which period does a Colorado deadline cover?
The sources describe these periods: program year 2026. A report is usually filed after the period it covers ends, so the date and the period are different things and both are shown.
Colorado has 2 verified deadlines in the Instica data. Verified means that the date or rule was read from a primary source on the retrieval date shown beside it, with the quote kept in the language of the source. A date that no primary source states is not shown as a date at all: it appears further down as not yet published, with the reason.
By shape, the entries are 2 with a fixed calendar date. The table lists them in date order, then by kind. The sections after it take each date in turn, then explain what the kinds of date ask of a producer, how to read a yearly rule or a month-only rule, and what to prepare before the day arrives.
What each kind of date means
Payment
A payment date is the day by which fees or dues have to be paid for a programme year. Some programmes fix the day in the rules and others set it on each invoice, which is why a month-only entry can appear without a day. Instica estimates the fee from the published rate schedule; the invoice and the payment stay between you and the programme.
Other date
Some dates in the source are neither a registration, a report nor a payment, for example a date from which a rule applies or a notice period. They are listed with the same source and quote as every other date, and the note beside each one says what it is.
How dates, yearly rules and month-only rules read
A fixed date is shown as the source gives it, formatted for your language. It is a calendar day, not a time of day, and it applies in the local time of the office that receives the filing. Where a fixed date is the first of a yearly series, the entry says so.
Dates in this data can be revised by the programme or the authority. Each entry shows the day it was retrieved, so you can see how old it is, and a newer source always wins over this page.
Preparing before the date
- Count the packaging you place on the market in the period the date covers. Weigh a sample of each pack, record the material of each part and note where each weight comes from: measured, supplied by your supplier, estimated or declared.
- Group the weights the way the recipient groups them. The report-format page for this place lists the columns, the units and the rounding the file expects.
- Estimate the fee from the published rate schedule, if the programme charges by weight or material, and keep the working so you can explain every figure.
- Read the source quote under the date once more, because the programme can change a day or a period between reviews.
- Sign in to the official portal yourself, check the prepared file and submit it. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you.
