SB 54 Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act Regulations

California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has begun a 15-day written comment period for the proposed revisions to the SB 54 Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act Permanent Rulemaking. This 15-day written comment period follows an initial 61-day public comment period that began on 8 March 2024, and ended on 8 May 2024. On 23 April 2024, CalRecycle held a hybrid public hearing to receive public comments.

CalRecycle will only consider written comments sent to CalRecycle and received during the 15-day written comment period which began on 14 October 2024, and ends on 29 October 2024. Written comments received by CalRecycle after the close of the public comment period are considered untimely. CalRecycle may, but is not required to, respond to untimely comments.
