SB 54 Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act Regulations

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is proposing permanent regulations for Senate Bill (SB) 54. This action will amend the rules to establish the various substantive and procedural requirements applicable to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) program that the Act requires producers of single-use packaging and single-use plastic food service ware (covered materials) to administer. The proposed regulations will also establish how CalRecycle will exercise its oversight and enforcement responsibilities.
