Ag Council recently led a broad coalition of food and agricultural associations in submitting comments to CalRecycle regarding the latest draft regulations for SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
The comment letter emphasizes the need for flexible compliance timelines, protection of trade-marked/proprietary business information, and compliance flexibility for packaging that protects product quality and food safety.
The coalition letter calls on CalRecycle to maintain the categorical exclusions achieved by Ag Council and to acknowledge agriculture’s feasibility concerns regarding compliance with the Act.
