Summary

Overview 

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) will hold an informal public workshop on May 31, 2023, to consult with the public, the regulated community, and other interested parties to solicit feedback on some of the requirements outlined in SB 54 (Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022). This workshop will focus on Source Reduction and Responsible End Markets.  This workshop is split into two parts:

  

  • Part 1: Source Reduction 

  • Overview of the statutory requirements pertaining to source reduction.
  •  Workshop on non-regulatory concept.
  •  Workshop on regulatory concepts.
  • Part 2: Responsible End Markets

  • Overview of the statute pertaining to responsible end markets.
  • Workshop on regulatory concepts.  

 

CalRecycle has also prepared two discussion documents (also attached) in advance of the workshop. The purpose of these documents is to provide workshop participants with an overall outline of what is going to be discussed and the type of feedback CalRecycle plans on soliciting at the workshop.

 

Request for Public Feedback 

At the public workshop, CalRecycle will be presenting a statutory overview of Source Reduction, a statutory overview of Responsible End Markets, an overview of non-regulatory concepts, and an overview of regulatory concepts. CalRecycle will provide a discussion document prior to the workshop to give interested parties time to review the content in advance. There will be opportunities for interested parties to provide verbal feedback during the workshop. CalRecycle requests feedback to be focused on the specific topics being discussed. Other SB 54 requirements not specified in the outline will be open for discussion at future workshops.
