The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB 54, Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022) requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to select and approve a producer responsibility organization (PRO) for the purposes of complying with the producer requirements of the statute.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) 42051(a), CalRecycle is required to accept applications from any entity seeking to serve as the PRO and CalRecycle is required to determine which proposed PRO can most effectively implement this chapter.
Due to statutory mandated deadline, applications are now closed.
