Gavin Newsom has signed SB 54, the most ambitious ex- tended producer responsibility bill for packaging in the U.S., into law. The bill will create an EPR program for print- ed paper and plastic packaging, require certain reductions and eliminations in single-use plastic packaging, promote reuse or refill systems and implement eco-modulated fees and environmental justice provisions. It also will require all plastic packaging in the state to reach a 30 percent recy- cling rate by 2028, increasing to 65 percent by 2032. The move came on the last possible day for proponents of a competing plastics fee initiative to pull their proposal and keep it off the November ballot, which they did just before the deadline. SB 54 supporters moved quickly to get the bill to Newsom’s desk on Thursday, the same day the state Senate voted 29-0 to pass the measure and a day after near-unanimous approval in the state Assembly. The process followed weeks of feverish lobbying and ne- gotiating amendments. Proponents have previously seen their efforts to pass the bill stall in 2019, 2020 and 2021. “In this time of extreme polarization in our nation, Cali- fornia was able to show that we can pass strong environ- mental legislation with bipartisan support that brought to- gether the environmental and business communities,” said Sen. Ben Allen, the bill’s primary sponsor. “With this new law, California continues its tradition of global environmen- tal leadership – tackling a major problem in a way that will move and grow markets in sustainable innovations, create incentives for investment, and give tools to other states and countries to help play their part in this fight.” In a joint statement just before pulling the ballot mea- sure, petitioners wrote that their initiative created leverage and urgency that made it possible for the state to make major changes. “With the ballot measure looming over plastic producers, industry lobbyists finally came to the ta- ble with environmental advocates and legislators to craft a policy that would set recycling performance standards and source reduction requirements,” they wrote. Petitioners added that they are less focused on fanfare surrounding SB 54 and more concerned with “how the policy will be implemented and enforced.”
