Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 14549.3 of the Public Resources Code, relating to beverage containers.
AI Summary
This bill amends the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act to enhance reporting requirements for beverage manufacturers using plastic containers subject to the California Redemption Value (CRV). Specifically, manufacturers will now be required to report the amount of imported postconsumer recycled plastic by country of origin and provide proof that their recycled content has been validated by a third-party validator adhering to specific International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. The bill adds new requirements for manufacturers to submit these reports under penalty of perjury, with the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) responsible for posting the reported information on their website within 45 days. Additionally, the bill requires plastic material reclaimers and postconsumer recycled plastic manufacturers to submit annual reports detailing the amount and types of plastic containers collected, sold, and processed. By expanding reporting obligations and mandating third-party validation, the bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in plastic beverage container recycling. The bill also notes that no state reimbursement is required since the changes primarily relate to creating or modifying reporting requirements and potential penalties.
