Circular Action Alliance is a nonprofit, producer-led Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) that coordinates and implements extended producer responsibility (EPR) and stewardship programs for paper and packaging across multiple U. S. states. CAA provides harmonized compliance services, producer registration and reporting, program administration, and stakeholder engagement to advance an efficient, effective circular economy for packaging materials.

📋 Description

• Draft and own the Business-to-Business (B2B) strategy across B2B Prefills, transport packaging, closed loop, semi-closed and open-loop models, while working closely with state-level teams to tailor solutions to requirements in each state. • Map the landscape and develop the strategy to boost conversion to reuse/refill for B2B packaging categories including industrial/commercial channels (e.g. retailers, food service, hotels,etc.,) and supply chains/routes (e.g., between producer and retailer, between retailer distribution center and retail locations, etc.,), to meet state-level extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws and regulations – while assessing opportunities for synergies and harmonization across states. • Reach out to industry associations or other convenors, build and launch Request for Information and Request for Proposals, identify promising pilots that may expand and scale, or other approaches to convene industry/producer alliances in target B2B areas. • Collaborate and drive towards standardized reusable packaging formats that integrate with the CAA investment strategy. This individual will first focus on California with an eye toward harmonization with other EPR states, where appropriate. • Act as project leader for successful B2B proposals/projects, developing the framework for ongoing engagement and executing a multi-year process to develop reusable packaging solutions across different product types. • Develop and launch a Reuse/Refill Innovation Fund to solicit ideas from the Producer Community. Oversee the process for selecting successful proponents and apply the engagement framework to drive towards common solutions. • Assess pilot outcomes, operational learnings, infrastructure implications and economic considerations to help inform future reuse/refill strategy, investments and program development. • Develop best practices, case studies, and tools. • Collaborate with other Food Serviceware and Business-to-Consumer Reuse/Refill verticals to assess how B2B infrastructure needs can integrate with current and upcoming needs for reuse services and infrastructure. • Assess if similar or different ecosystem standards, metrics and reporting vs other Reuse/Refill verticals are needed to fulfill individual state EPR obligations. • Develop strategies for accelerating the adoption of B2B reusables (e.g., RFP, Early Mover Incentives, etc.). • Provide input on proposed regulations and reuse/refill activities in other states. • Serve as a trusted technical and strategic resource for producers, local jurisdictions, NGOs, and reusable service providers. • Remain at the forefront of B2B reuse/refill system innovations. • Cultivate relationships with producers, trade associations, reuse service providers, local government, NGOs, startups and other innovators or standard bearers in the reuse/refill space. • Serve as a trusted technical and strategic advisor to producers, regulators, municipalities, NGOs, and reuse operators. • Represent CAA and educate interest holders about CAA’s approach to reuse/refill at board meetings, public consults, conferences, working groups.

🎯 Requirements
