This item presents staff’s analysis of Carpet America Recovery Effort’s (CARE) 2024 Annual Report submitted to CalRecycle on August 30, 2025. 

Public Resources Code section 42976 requires carpet manufacturers, individually or through a stewardship organization, to submit an annual report to CalRecycle on or before September 1 of each year describing the program’s activities to execute the purposes of the law and demonstrate that it has achieved the goals in its stewardship plan.

CalRecycle will review the submitted annual report to determine whether the requirements of statute, regulations, and the stewardship plan were met and adopt a finding of compliance or noncompliance.
