Comment Period  |  CA  |  June 15, 2026

Circular Action Alliance submitted its draft five-year California Program Plan to the SB 54 Producer Responsibility Advisory Board on June 15, 2026. A 60-day public comment period is open from June 15 through August 14, 2026, after which CAA has 60 days to respond before filing a revised plan (expected October 2026) for CalRecycle approval ahead of the January 1, 2027 program start. The Advisory Board discussed the draft plan at a public meeting on June 26, 2026. CalRecycle published the statewide needs assessment synthesis report on February 18, 2026 (Publication DRRR-2026-1774); producers and environmental advocates have flagged the plan's compressed development timeline as limiting public input. Producers can review the plan and submit comments through the CAA California program plan public comment page. Source: Circular Action Alliance (July 2026); Resource Recycling (June 15, 2026).
