Colorado CDPHE proposes rule changes to inflation-adjust the small-producer exemption dollar threshold for the Producer Responsibility Program

Colorado CDPHE indicates it is proposing changes to its solid waste regulations to update (inflation-adjust) the dollar threshold used to exempt producers from Colorado’s Producer Responsibility Program. If adopted, the change could shift which producers are exempt vs. obligated (registration/participation, reporting, and dues). Compliance teams should monitor the rulemaking materials referenced on CDPHE’s program page and assess whether exemption status may change with the updated threshold.
