On Oct. 7, 2025, Western Growers submitted comments on CalRecycle’s latest SB 54 “Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act” Final Draft Regulations.

You can find the comment letter here. In addition to submitting our own comments, WG signed on to two coalition letters: CA Chamber of Commerce and Agricultural Council of California. These three letters combined cover the full scope of our concerns with the Draft Regulations and our support for the beneficial changes included.

What Comes Next:

• CalRecycle will work toward publishing their Final SB54 Regulations by the end of this year. There is a possibility that CalRecycle will open another 15-day public comment period following their review of this round of public comments.

Stay tuned for updates.
