Comment Period  |  CA, CAA  |  September 21, 2026

Circular Action Alliance is taking comment from August 26 to October 24, 2026 on the draft California Funding and Services Agreement and its Project Schedules. These are the contracts CAA will pay recycling and reuse service providers under, and CAA addresses the invitation to California recycling and reuse interest holders.

What this means for you: if you are a producer, nothing you must do changes, and this is not the program plan comment period, which closed August 14. It is worth knowing because what CAA agrees to pay service providers is the largest single input into the fees producers are later charged, and this is the only public window on those terms. If you run recycling or reuse services in California, this one is aimed at you. Source: Circular Action Alliance, California (read September 20, 2026).

Where this sits

This entry is part of the EPR Atlas weekly update log. Every week the Atlas checks the seven enacted states, the pending and early-stage states, the federal bills, active litigation, and agency rulemaking, then publishes what actually changed. See the full update archive or the live hub.
