CalRecycle is providing notice that the Carpet Product Recovery Program law has a reporting requirement that carpet producers (manufacturers/mills) must meet. Specifically, Public Resources Code section 42968.22, which reads: 

“(a) No later than 180 days after the effective date of this chapter, producers shall provide to the department, in a form and manner established by the department, all the following: 

(1) The producer’s contact information, including its name, physical and mailing addresses, email address, and phone number. 

(2) A list of covered products and brands of covered products that the producer sells, distributes for sale, imports for sale, or offers for sale in or into the state. 

(b) A producer shall update the information described in subdivision (a) and provide the updated information to the department on or before January 15 of each year, within 30 days of changes to the information, and upon request of the department.” 

To be compliant with this requirement, carpet producers must submit the required information to CalRecycle on or before June 30, 2025. Subsequent updates to this information are to be provided as detailed in Public Resources Code section 42968.22(b). Submissions may be emailed to carpetenforcement@calrecycle.ca.gov.
