- Merging the Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity Program and the Front Range Waste Diversion Enterprise into the new Colorado Circular Communities Enterprise to provide more diverse, equitable, efficient, and innovative solutions to waste management statewide.
- Establishing a voluntary statewide sustainability program to encourage, support, and recognize businesses, nonprofits, local governments, schools, and state institutions of higher education for sustainability efforts.
- Imposing user fees on facilities required to report under federal law and operators of solid waste disposal sites outside the Front Range to fund the Colorado Circular Communities Enterprise.
