Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB 54) Regulation Update
On January 9, 2026, CalRecycle withdrew proposed regulations to implement the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB 54) from the Office of Administrative Law's review to make changes to the regulations to improve clarity and support successful implementation of the law. CalRecycle’s focus for these revisions will primarily be applicable to food and agricultural commodities.
CalRecycle will conduct an additional 15-day comment period. Statutory deadlines remain unchanged. CalRecycle remains committed to implementing this bold recycling law in a way that achieves its goals of reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy while also minimizing costs for small businesses and working families as much as possible.
Please stay tuned and we will be announcing another 15-day comment period soon.
