CRA's President and CEO Rachel Michelin met with CalRecycle Director Zoe Heller and conveyed CRA's concerns with the implementation of the current SB 54 regulations.
Thank you to everyone who have provided feedback so far.
We are working on followup comments to send to Director Heller, at her request. Director Heller asked for CRA to provide numbers on SB 54 costs to consumers. We would like to collect examples on specific items or sections in the regulations and the associated cost increases if those regulations go into effect so we can include that information in our followup letter.
If you are concerned about this packaging EPR and its impact on your business, NOW is the time to share any and all concerns including and especially related to costs that these regulations will have on consumers. Please send feedback to sarah@calretailers.com by Friday, January 24.
We have provided below, for reference, the latest version of the draft SB 54 regulations along with the most recent comment letters Cal Retailers submitted to CalRecycle.
