CalRecycle Extends Comment Period for Revised SB 54 Single Use Packaging Regulations

CalRecycle has extended the public comment period for the revisions to the SB 54 Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act regulations. The current 15-day comment period began on October 14, 2024, when CalRecycle released its much-anticipated revisions. The revised regulation text can be found here.

RCRC has been extensively engaged, submitting comments to CalRecycle on the initial draft of the SB 54 regulations. CalRecycle incorporated several changes suggested by RCRC, while rejecting others. For details, and to read about RCRC’s concerns about the proposed revision, see here.

Comments on the revised draft regulations are now due on November 3 and can be submitted electronically here.  RCRC will be submitting comments and will work with other local governments and associations in providing feedback to CalRecycle.
