Carpet Stewardship Program Advisory Committee

CalRecycle is required to appoint an advisory committee to provide recommendations to a carpet manufacturer or stewardship organization and to the department on carpet stewardship plans, plan amendments, and annual reports. In addition, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Committee on Rules each appoint one member. For more information, refer to Public Resources Code section 42972.1.

CalRecycle requires that advisory committee members adhere to a Code of Conduct and disclose private or personal interests that may be affected by the carpet stewardship program.
