This item presents staff’s analysis of Carpet America Recovery Effort’s (CARE)
2025 Annual Report submitted to CalRecycle on September 1, 2026.
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.
