Oregon packaging EPR
Status: Active, fees being billed.
Who must comply
Oregon's program covers producers of covered packaging sold into the state. The USAEPR checker screens brand owners and US importers as its starting point, because EPR duties usually fall on the brand owner or importer. Oregon also has a separate exemption for single-location retailers with no online sales that are not part of a chain; that exemption is not part of the checker's screen. If you only distribute or resell, or if your role in the supply chain is unclear, confirm who counts as the producer with Oregon DEQ before relying on a screening result.
Exemption thresholds
The reviewed rules list two exemption tests for Oregon, and meeting any one of them points to a likely exemption:
- Global gross revenue below $5,000,000.
- Covered materials into Oregon below 1,000 kg per year, screened in metric tons.
The tests are alternatives: a large brand shipping very little packaging into Oregon can be exempt on weight alone, and a small brand can be exempt on revenue alone. If neither test is met, the checker shows a likely obligation, and the next step is to confirm producer and material scope with the agency.
Key dates
The reviewed rules do not list a separate registration deadline for Oregon; the program is active and fees are being billed. Confirm current reporting deadlines with Oregon DEQ, since deadlines depend on the reporting year and program cycle.
What to confirm
Two things still need confirmation for Oregon: the covered-material scope, and the producer definition and implementation status for the reporting year. The checker screens the figures above; it does not determine legal material scope.
