Overview
The Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery (CalRecycle) will hold an informal public workshop on August 4,
2026, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
The purpose of this workshop is to
consult with the public, the regulated community, and other interested persons
to solicit feedback on updates to the draft
regulatory language to implement the statutory addition of aerosol coating
products, nonindustrial coatings, and coating-related products into the
Architectural Paint Recovery Program, which was renamed the Paint Product
Recovery Program. Changes to the Paint Product Recovery Program regulations are
necessary to clarify existing language and to implement, make specific, and
clarify Assembly Bill 1526 (Committee on Natural
Resources, Chapter 848, Statutes of 2023) and Senate Bill 1143 (Allen, Chapter 989,
Statutes of 2024).
A copy of the presentation will be added to this Public
Notice in advance of the workshop.
Instructions for how to access the Zoom meeting
(registration required) or Webcast (no registration required) are included
below.
Request for Public Feedback
At the public workshop CalRecycle will present regulatory changes made since the June 2025
regulations release, introduce new draft regulatory concepts, and gather
stakeholder input. CalRecycle will provide the proposed regulations and a
discussion document prior to the workshop to give interested persons time to
review the content in advance. There will be opportunities for interested persons
to provide comments during the workshop. Additionally, written comments may be
submitted prior to and after the workshop through a comment
portal.
