<a id="answer"></a>

The 2027 packaging fee schedule for Colorado lists 61 categories with a rate in US cents per pound. Rates run from 5.0 for Glass Bottles and Jars & Other Containers to 209.0 for PS (#6) - Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning. Instica read each figure from the publisher's schedule, retrieved October 22, 2026.

## What the schedule covers

Circular Action Alliance (Colorado PRO) sets the packaging fees for Colorado in 2027. It applies from January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2027, and every rate is stated in US cents per pound, in USD.

The schedule lists 61 categories, spread over 9 material groups such as Paper Products, Glass and Ceramics, Metal and Paper/Fiber. Every category carries a published rate.

Instica read the schedule from the publisher's own document and last retrieved it on October 22, 2026. Rates keep the precision with which they were published. Where the publisher quotes a different weight unit, the tables add a per-tonne column, converted exactly, so schedules can be set side by side.

## How the fee is built

The base of the fee is a rate per pound of packaging placed on the market, by material (9 material groups here). On top of the base, the scheme adjusts some rates up or down for how recyclable a pack is. Small producers may pay a flat fee by band instead of the per-weight rates.

#### Eco-modulation

The scheme describes its modulation as follows: percentage. The adjustments below are the values the publisher states; Instica applies none of them on its own.

<a id="modulation"></a>**Eco-modulation groups in the Colorado 2027 schedule**

| Group | Description | Adjustment | Applies to |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| Automatic adjustments | Passive factors are applied automatically from supply data and are already inside the published final dues: a 5% malus for materials that disrupt recycling, a malus that lifts AML materials to at least 20% above similar MRL materials and Not Collected materials to at least 10% above similar AML materials, and a 5% bonus for materials with high recycling rates. | [+5% / -5% / tier uplift](#modulation-passive) | each material category |

The schedule says CAA's detailed Colorado eco-modulation guidance, including CDPHE bonus benchmarks that apply alongside these factors, is published separately. Its detail was not in the schedule read.

#### Flat fees for small producers

A producer whose supply falls inside one of these bands may pay the flat fee shown instead of the per-weight rates. Check the eligibility column against your own supply before you rely on a band.

<a id="flat-tiers"></a>**Flat-fee bands in the Colorado 2027 schedule**

| Band | Eligibility | Supply range | Flat fee |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
| `flat_1_2.5_short_tons` | Optional flat dues for producers that supply 10 tons or less of covered materials into Colorado. Not per material. | 1 – 3 short_ton | [900 USD](#tier-flat-1-2-5-short-tons) |
| `flat_2.5_5_short_tons` | Optional flat dues for producers that supply 10 tons or less of covered materials into Colorado. Not per material. | 3 – 5 short_ton | [1,800 USD](#tier-flat-2-5-5-short-tons) |
| `flat_5_7.5_short_tons` | Optional flat dues for producers that supply 10 tons or less of covered materials into Colorado. Not per material. | 5 – 8 short_ton | [2,900 USD](#tier-flat-5-7-5-short-tons) |
| `flat_7.5_10_short_tons` | Optional flat dues for producers that supply 10 tons or less of covered materials into Colorado. Not per material. | 8 – 10 short_ton | [4,100 USD](#tier-flat-7-5-10-short-tons) |

<a id="rates"></a>

## Every published rate

The table lists all 61 categories of the schedule with the rate exactly as published, in US cents per pound. The last column converts each rate to USD per tonne (1 tonne is 1,000 kg; 1 lb is 0.45359237 kg) so it can be compared with other schedules.

Paraphrase: The schedule's own names for these categories, quoted as published. Elsewhere on this page they appear without the qualifying word, so that titles, links and tables describe the material.

<a id="extremes"></a>

## The most and least expensive categories

These are the 5 categories with the highest and the lowest published rate in Colorado for 2027. The ranking uses the per-tonne figure where the schedule can be converted, so every row is on the same scale.

<a id="highest"></a>**Highest published rates, Colorado 2027**

| 5 | Newsprint (inserts and circulars) | [8.0](#rate-co-newsprint-inserts-and-circulars) | 176.37 |

Across the schedule the spread between the highest and the lowest rate is 4,497.43 USD per tonne, a factor of 41.8. The mean rate is 945.46 and the median 705.48 USD per tonne. These are plain averages over the listed categories, not weighted by tonnage.

<a id="groups"></a>

## Rates by material group

The schedule groups its categories into 9 material groups. For each group the table shows how many priced categories it holds and the lowest, highest and mean per-tonne rate. A wide range inside one group means the pack format matters as much as the material.

<a id="who-pays"></a>

## Who pays and when

The fee schedule is only half of the picture. Whether a producer pays it, and by when, depends on the rules of Colorado. This section reads them from Instica's verified record of the jurisdiction.

The regime is: Colorado Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling Act, C.R.S. 25-17-701 et seq. (HB22-1355). The regulator is Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Solid Waste and Materials Management Program.

#### Thresholds

3 thresholds decide whether a producer must register, pay or report, or may use a simpler route. Each row gives the measure, the amount and what happens at it.

<a id="thresholds"></a>**Thresholds in Colorado**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Revenue | [5,000,000 USD](#threshold-small-producer-revenue) | Exempt below | realized gross total revenue, prior calendar year, excluding on-premises alcohol sales |
| Tonnage supplied | [1 short_ton](#threshold-small-producer-tonnage) | Exempt below | covered materials used for products sold or distributed in or into Colorado, prior calendar year |
| Tonnage supplied | [10 short_ton](#threshold-flat-dues-ceiling) | Flat-fee band | covered materials supplied into Colorado |

#### Exemptions

1 exemption exists. The last column says whether the producer has to apply for it or whether it applies automatically.

<a id="exemptions"></a>**Exemptions in Colorado**

| Exemption | Description | Application needed |
| --- | --- | :---: |
| `statutory exemptions` | Exempt from Part 7: revenue under the dollar limit, under one ton of covered materials, state or local government, nonprofit, an agricultural employer with under $5 million in-state consumer sales of its own-brand farm products, a single l… | No |

#### Registration

Producers must register in Colorado. The register is Circular Action Alliance producer portal. Who registers: The producer, with CAA. Producers of applicable petroleum and automotive products register with Interchange 360.

#### Who runs the scheme

Colorado uses more than one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Action Alliance and Interchange 360 (automotive lubricant packaging, individual programme). Membership is required.

#### Dates

4 dates fall in this regime. Dates that the source has not published yet are shown as not yet published.

<a id="deadlines"></a>**Deadlines in Colorado**

| What | Date | Period covered |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Payment | [January 1, 2026](#deadline-dues-2026) | program year 2026 |
| Report | Not yet published | calendar year |
| Other | Not yet published |  |
| Other | [January 1, 2026](#deadline-eco-modulation-bonus-schedule) |  |

#### Penalties

The source states these penalties. They are listed so a producer knows what is at stake; Instica does not calculate or advise on them.

<a id="penalties"></a>**Penalties in Colorado**

| Violation | Amount |
| --- | ---: |
| First violation of Part 7 by a producer or producer responsibility organization | up to $5,000 for the first day, then up to $1,500 per day the violation continues |
| Second violation within twelve months after a prior violation | up to $10,000 for the first day, then up to $3,000 per day the violation continues |
| Third or later violation within twelve months after two or more prior violations | up to $20,000 for the first day, then up to $6,000 per day the violation continues |

<a id="period"></a>

## Data period and invoice timing

The 2027 schedule for Colorado is effective from January 1, 2027 until December 31, 2027. It is based on the data period January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, so the supply you report for that period is what the rates apply to.

Rates are in USD. A rate changes only when the publisher issues a new schedule, so a figure on this page stays valid for the year shown and is not adjusted for inflation or exchange rates by Instica.

The scheme sends the invoice. When an invoice and this page differ, the invoice is what you owe; use the page to check the rate per category and to estimate the fee before the invoice arrives.

<a id="worked"></a>

## Worked costs for common packs

The table prices nine typical packs from Instica's packaging templates. For each material in the pack, the weight in grams is multiplied by the mean USD per tonne rate of that material class in the Colorado 2027 schedule, and the sum is the fee for 1,000 packs. It is an estimate for orientation: the real category of your pack decides the actual rate.

<a id="worked-costs"></a>**Estimated fee per 1,000 packs, Colorado 2027**

| Pack | Weight by material | Estimated fee, 1,000 packs (USD) |
| --- | --- | ---: |
| Bag, Small (lunch bag) | Paper and card 20 g | [$7.23](#worked-bag) |
| Jar, Small (about 4 oz) | Glass 110 g + Steel 7 g + Paper and card 1 g | [$77.32](#worked-jar) |
| Bottle, Small (about 12 oz) | Plastic 15 g + Plastic 2 g | [$23.35](#worked-bottle) |
| Can, Standard (12 oz) | Aluminium 14 g | [$8.40](#worked-can) |
| Tin, Small (mint or balm tin) | Steel 20 g | [$12.00](#worked-tin) |
| Carton, Small (soap or tea box) | Paper and card 15 g | [$5.42](#worked-carton) |
| Mailer, Small (about 8 x 6 x 4 in) | Paper and card 90 g | [$32.54](#worked-mailer) |

> **Note**: These costs use class means, not the rate of your exact category. Look your pack up in the rates table above before you budget.

<a id="compare"></a>

## How it compares

Rates can only be compared in the same currency, so this section sets Colorado against the 5 other schedules in Instica's data that are priced in USD and convert to a per-tonne figure. No exchange rate is applied.

<a id="compare-table"></a>**Colorado 2027 against other USD schedules, by material class**

| Material class | Colorado mean (USD per tonne) | Median of the others | Range of the others | Rank |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Wood and organics | 1,940.07 | 1,895.98 | 1,058.22 – 2,314.85 | [2 / 4](#class-wood) |
| Plastic | 1,373.48 | 1,341.36 | 825.16 – 1,373.48 | [1 / 4](#class-plastic) |
| Glass | 661.39 | 788.15 | 562.18 – 1,333.80 | [3 / 4](#class-glass) |
| Other metal | 600.15 | 553.61 | 448.27 – 984.73 | [2 / 4](#class-metal) |
| Paper and card | 361.56 | 320.04 | 214.58 – 361.56 | [1 / 4](#class-paper) |

The class listed first, Wood and organics, is where this schedule charges the most compared with its peers. A high rank is not a verdict on the schedule; it reflects what the publisher chose to charge.

#### Other years of the same programme

Instica also holds these schedules for Colorado. Each page shows the rates of that year.

## How to read this schedule

Every row of the Colorado 2027 schedule is a price for one category of packaging. The unit is US cents per pound: the rate is what the scheme charges for each unit of that category that a producer places on the market. Instica shows the figure exactly as Circular Action Alliance (Colorado PRO) publishes it, with its source and the date Instica read it.

The source states these rates in US cents, so one hundred of them make one whole unit of USD. Instica does not round or restate a published figure. For comparison only, Instica also shows each rate as USD per tonne. That column is arithmetic on the published figure with exact unit factors; the schedule itself is in US cents per pound, and the scheme's own invoice decides what is charged.

Match a category by the scheme's own classification, not by how you describe the product. A bottle and its closure can fall into two rows, and the same material can sit in different rows depending on what it is used for. The code in the first column is the scheme's code, and the material column shows the material the source assigns to it.

This schedule is modulated: the base rate is adjusted by a published factor depending on how a package performs against the scheme's criteria. The adjustment table sets out each group and what it applies to. Check which group your package falls into before you read a rate as final.

The schedule also carries flat fees by band. A flat fee is charged by band, not per unit of weight, so it must be read apart from the per-unit rates and is not part of the rate table.

All 61 rows of this schedule carry a published rate.

#### Estimating with this schedule

1. Weigh each packaging component on its own and note its material.
2. Find the category row that matches the component under the scheme's classification.
3. Convert your weight to the unit of the row, US cents per pound, or compare in the per-tonne column when you only need a ranking.
4. Multiply the weight by the rate. Instica keeps the rate, the weight and the source together so the estimate can be checked.
5. Add the flat fees or other fees the schedule lists, if they apply to you.
6. Review the total, then sign and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal.

<a id="invoice-check"></a>

## Checking an invoice against this schedule

An invoice from Circular Action Alliance (Colorado PRO) for 2027 should be explainable from three things: the weights you reported, the category each weight was placed in and the rate of that category. When an invoice does not match your estimate, check these in this order.

First, the unit. A rate in US cents per pound applied to a weight in another unit gives a result that is wrong by a constant factor. Second, the category: a different row can differ by a large amount for the same weight. Third, the period: this page covers the 2027 schedule, and a producer whose reporting period straddles two years may be charged under both.

Instica does not know your contract. Taxes, rebates, minimum charges or membership fees may sit outside the schedule on this page, in USD or another currency. The schedule is a published reference; the scheme's invoice decides what you owe, and a query about an invoice belongs with the scheme.

<a id="glossary"></a>

## Terms used on this page

- **Producer**: The business that places packaged goods on the market and is therefore responsible for the packaging, under the rules of the jurisdiction.
- **Scheme or organisation**: The body that collects fees from producers and pays for collection and recycling. A jurisdiction may have one, several or none.
- **Fee schedule**: A published table of rates per category of packaging, with the unit, the currency and the period it covers.
- **Category**: The class of packaging a rate applies to, as the scheme defines it. Categories are usually based on material, sometimes on use.
- **Estimate**: A figure Instica prepares from your weights and a rate. It is not an invoice and not a filing; the scheme decides what is charged.
- **Not yet published**: A value the source has not released or that Instica has not been able to read and verify. It is shown with its reason and is never replaced by a guess.

## Questions and answers

### <a id="faq-1"></a>What is the Colorado packaging fee schedule for 2027?

It is the list of rates that Circular Action Alliance (Colorado PRO) charges producers in Colorado for packaging placed on the market in 2027. This page reproduces 61 categories with the rate the publisher states, in US cents per pound, and links every figure to its source document.

### <a id="faq-2"></a>Which unit are the 2027 rates in?

They are published in US cents per pound, in USD. Instica shows every rate in that unit with the precision of the source. The tables also give USD per tonne, converted exactly, so schedules that quote pounds or kilograms can be compared.

### <a id="faq-3"></a>Which category is the most expensive in Colorado?

In the 2027 schedule the highest published rate is 209.0 for PS (#6) - Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning and the lowest is 5.0 for Glass Bottles and Jars & Other Containers, both in US cents per pound. The extremes table above lists the five highest and five lowest categories.

### <a id="faq-4"></a>Does the fee change with how recyclable a pack is?

Yes. The schedule applies eco-modulation: some rates move up or down depending on how recyclable the pack is. The modulation section lists each group and the adjustment the publisher states. Instica shows the published rates and does not apply an adjustment of its own.

### <a id="faq-5"></a>Is there a flat fee for small producers?

The schedule lists flat-fee bands. A producer whose supply falls inside a band and who meets its eligibility text may pay the flat fee shown instead of the weight-based rates. Check the eligibility column against your own figures, and ask the scheme if you are unsure.

### <a id="faq-6"></a>Can the rates change during the year?

A published schedule changes only when the publisher issues a new version. Instica retrieved this one on October 22, 2026. If the publisher revises it, the page is rebuilt from the new source and the retrieval date moves.

### <a id="faq-7"></a>How do the 2027 rates compare with 2026?

The change section compares every category priced in both years, with the rate in each year and the change as a percentage. The text above it counts how many rates rose, fell or stayed the same.

### <a id="faq-8"></a>Who files the report and pays the fee?

The producer does. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures; you check them, sign and submit them yourself in the scheme's own portal. Instica does not file for you and does not store portal credentials.

### <a id="faq-9"></a>Can I use this page to budget my fee?

Yes, as an estimate. Find your category in the rates table, multiply the rate by your weight in the same unit, and compare the result with the worked costs. The scheme's invoice decides what you owe.

### <a id="faq-10"></a>How current are these figures?

Instica retrieved the schedule on October 22, 2026. The page shows the retrieval date, the publisher and a short quote from the source next to each rate, so you can check a figure against the original before you rely on it.

<a id="use"></a>

## How Instica uses this schedule

When you add packaging for Colorado, Instica looks up the category in this 2027 schedule, multiplies the rate by the weight you measured and shows the estimated fee with the rate, the source and the data-quality tier of the weight.

Instica measures, estimates and prepares. You review the figures, sign the report and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal. Instica does not submit for you and never stores portal credentials.

<a id="estimate"></a>

> **Estimate**: Figures on this page are estimates that Instica prepares from published sources. You review them, sign them and submit them yourself. Instica does not file on your behalf, does not store regulator-portal credentials, and does not interpret the law for you.
