FPA Signs Coalition Letter Regarding CalRecycle’s Most Recent Draft Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Act (SB 54) Regulations

The below listed organizations are writing to raise very serious concerns regarding the most recent draft Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Act (SB 54) regulations as put forward by CalRecycle on Monday, December 2nd. As you know, SB 54 enacted an extended producer responsibility (EPR) model directing producers to achieve ambitious recyclability, recycling and source reduction targets on unprecedented timelines. We are supportive of these objectives and have demonstrated our commitment both in the passage of SB 54, but also in participating in the workshops and now formal regulatory process. However, we note that the goals of this legislation will be complex to achieve and will require new innovations in technology as well as creative and flexible solutions to create a successful system.
