CRIIS Presentations: What’s New & What’s Next

The CRIIS Project is picking up steam, and we’re connecting with teams across CalRecycle—virtually, in person, and everywhere in between!

We’ve been meeting with Release 1 teams to share what’s coming, show off new features, give a sneak peek at training plans, and answer questions.

Big thanks to everyone who’s joined us so far!

Why These Sessions Matter

These aren’t just updates—they’re your chance to:

Ask questions
Share feedback
Help shape how we support the CRIIS rollout across CalRecycle.

We’re here to make sure you are confident and prepared for Release 1 go-live in November 2025.

Teams in Releases 2 and 3 will have outreach sessions before their go-live dates. Stay tuned!
