Program is operating

Oregon DEQ states that recycling-program changes started in July 2025. From 2025 onward, covered producers generally must register with an approved PRO, report supply data and pay fees unless an exemption applies.

Covered-product master

Internal systems should map packaging, paper and food-serviceware records to products, suppliers and source evidence before values are aggregated for PRO reporting.

Exemptions and change

Oregon maintains small-producer and covered-product exemption pathways. Teams should preserve the basis and evidence for any exemption determination and monitor rule updates.

Emissa workflow

Emissa can connect material and product data to evidence, reporting periods, ownership and review history while preserving the source system that owns purchasing or product master data.

Authoritative sources

Verify requirements against current official guidance.

Regulatory requirements change. Emissa uses these sources as reference points for workflow design; organizations should confirm current applicability and obligations before relying on a compliance decision.
