The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery proposed amendments to regulations governing the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act. The amendments would interpret, make specific, and implement the requirements of the Act, establish various elements of the Department’s oversight and enforcement responsibilities under the Act, and establish the criteria and procedures necessary to implement the requirement established by Assembly Bill 1201 that products labeled "compostable" must be certified by third-party entities according to certain technical standards. A hearing will be held April 23, 2024. Comments are due the same date. See https://oal.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/166/2024/03/2024-Notice-Register-No.-10-Z-March-8-2024-1.pdf (pp. 266-73).
