Yes. On September 9, 2025, Interchange 360’s IPP was approved by CDPHE making it the first EPR program approved in the state and the first IPP to be approved in the nation. Read more here.

There are a number of reasons Interchange 360 established this first-in-the-nation independent program in Colorado. It is the only program in Colorado where producers of petroleum and automotive products have their products recycled which leads to better environmental outcomes.

Other programs focus on curbside collection. On such a model, petroleum and automotive products are sent to landfill even though producers still must pay. And because the products are not recycled it will lead to higher long-term costs for the industry. Therefore, the Interchange 360 program provides cost savings to the industry over the long-term.  

Don’t worry. Our team is here to help, and we expect there to be a learning curve for all producers. The items on LPMA’s product list are not shown on any other compliance organization’s reporting system. However, sometimes mistakes can happen in how products are classified. If this were to be discovered either through an audit process or by the producer they should be granted a refund from the organization and the file an amended report with the correct organization. 

Yes. For the benefit of Producers, we plan on maintaining a consistent list of Applicable Products List for our program across all states. View the list here.

The law requires a start date, but there is a lot of work that must be done leading up to that date that Interchange 360 has conducted on behalf of producers. This includes developing the program plan, education and outreach, infrastructure, legal, and other associated costs. 

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has developed a Producer Determination Chart to help Producers understand their obligations.
Please note, this is applicable only to Colorado and should not be considered the law for other states.

The state of Colorado can take enforcement action against any producer not registered, including restricting sales of products in the state. Interchange 360 is required by law to submit a list of registered producers. 

No, complete the Colorado Participation Agreement as soon as possible and submit it to Member Services. Note that all producers are required to pay back to the start of the planning phase of the program (July 1, 2024) to ensure fairness. 

The state’s deadline to register with Interchange 360 was July 1, 2025. If you are an obligated producer who has not yet registered with Interchange 360 in Colorado please contact Interchange 360 Member Services for assistance with the process.

There is currently no difference in how Interchange 360 applies the words “fees” and “dues,” however some states use a specific term. Colorado uses “dues” while all others use “fees” to reference what producers must pay into a program. 

Yes. We hold Producer-focused webinars on a quarterly basis, or as the need arises. You can watch the replays of past Webinars and register for upcoming ones here.
