On June 30, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 54 (Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022), the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (the Act), into law. The Act, establishes enforceable goals to be achieved by 2032, including:
-

-
Recycling 65% of single-use plastic packaging and food service ware.

Ensuring that 100% of single-use packaging and plastic food service ware is either recyclable or eligible to be labeled as compostable.
Pursuant to section 42065(a) of the Public Resources Code, CalRecycle must report to the Legislature biennially on its progress implementing the Act.
