FPA Signs Coalition Support Letter for Circular Action Alliance’s Application to be the Producer Responsibility Organization Pursuant to California’s Senate Bill 54 (Allen)

The California Chamber of Commerce, local chambers of commerce and these undersigned state and national organizations, representing diverse businesses large and small from across California, strongly support the application of the Circular Action Alliance (CAA) to be California’s first Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) for Senate Bill 54 (Allen). CAA's ability to facilitate an extended producer responsibility (EPR) program is unmatched as the only not-forprofit formed specifically to meet the requirements of U.S. EPR programs, including SB 54, supported by a team of experts with direct experience establishing PROs and developing packaging EPR program plans. CAA was the first PRO selected in the United States to manage Colorado’s EPR program for paper and packaging. They also were selected for Maryland's State Producer Responsibility Advisory Council. Additionally, CAA is the only organization conducting extensive and meaningful outreach to the diversity of stakeholders across the vast California marketplace, including non-governmental organizations, businesses large and small, and local and state government.
