Colorado lawmakers’ “producer responsibility” recycling overhaul, headed to Gov. Polis, would give companies first dibs to recover their own materials
Colorado lawmakers have given final thumbs up to a recycling overhaul that spreads responsibility from consumers to producers of all goods sold in the state — an estimated 1,500 companies offering items packaged in plastic, glass, metal and cardboard.recycling
Colorado’s legislation — approved on a 21-14 vote in the Senate and a 40-25 vote in the House — had some support from producers keen to get back more material for re-use and would set up a system for charging companies less when they design products and packaging that are easier to recycle. Gov. Jared Polis in 2020 declared Colorado would move from being a laggard to a leader. A state goal set in 2017 calls for recycling 45% of trash statewide by 2036.
