    On June 30, 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into Senate Bill 54 (Senate Bill 54), which initiated the state's creation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program and the strictest Progress towards plastic reduction targets
    .

    California's Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act obliges single-use and single-use packaging producers to form a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) to monitor industry compliance with legal requirements
    .

    SB 54 requires that by 2032, all packaging in California be recyclable or compostable, a 25% reduction in plastic packaging production, and 65% of packaging to be recyclable after use
    .
    In order to achieve the 2032 target, 30% of packaging needs to be recyclable by 2028; by 2030, 40% of packaging can be recycled
    .
    To do this, PRO organizations need to develop a plan to progressively achieve these goals, which will then be reviewed by the California Department of Resource Recovery and Recycling
