California Packaging EPR Compliance

Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act

SB 54 is California's packaging EPR law, requiring producers of single-use plastic packaging and food service ware to register with the Circular Action Alliance (CAA), meet phased source reduction targets, and pay eco-modulation fees tied to a packaging material's recyclability and recycled content. CalRecycle administers the program.

Key Producer Requirements

  • Register with the Circular Action Alliance as your Producer Responsibility Organization
  • Submit an individual source reduction plan (August 2026 milestone)
  • Pay eco-modulation fees based on packaging material recyclability
  • Meet statewide plastic packaging source reduction targets phased through 2032

Compliance Deadlines

California producers with individual source reduction obligations should prepare for the August 1, 2026 individual source reduction plan milestone.
