Farmers, packers and shippers who may be impacted by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs should be aware of a new opportunity for producer engagement. Circular Action Alliance (CAA) has launched a Producer Fee-Setting Consultation process and is establishing a Steering Committee to help inform how producer fees are developed across states. The committee’s role is advisory and intended to provide input on proposed fee-setting methodologies and consultation topics. Final fee decisions will remain with CAA.

CAA says it is seeking participants with diverse industry perspectives, including companies with multi-state experience and technical or financial expertise related to fee-setting issues. Participation is intended to help increase transparency and provide earlier input into methodology discussions.
