加州资源回收局CalRecycle收到包装生产者责任修订计划 75天审查期启动、年底前须裁定
Sacramento——10月13日，生产者责任组织 Circular Action Alliance（CAA）向加州资源回收局（CalRecycle）提交了《塑料污染防治与包装生产者责任法》（SB 54）实施计划的修订版。这份495页的计划吸收了为期60天公众意见期内收到的2,400多条意见。CalRecycle 自收到之日起有75个日历日作出回应——批准、不予批准、附条件批准、要求补充材料，或给出裁定时间表——期限在今年12月底前后届满。SB 54 顾问委员会本周五开会讨论这份修订计划。
修订版大幅下调了成本估算：2027年预算约11.05亿美元，低于初版最高约18.7亿美元的估算；2027至2031年五年预算区间由93.5亿至172亿美元下调至78.1亿至130.5亿美元。按法律规定，生产者还须每年向加州塑料污染缓解基金缴纳5亿美元、十年共50亿美元，塑料树脂制造商每年最多可承担其中1.5亿美元。SB 54 要求受管控材料回收率2028年达30%、2030年达40%、2032年达65%，计划预计2027年1月1日起实施。
CAA 首席幕僚 Shane Buckingham 表示，提交加州计划是为生产者建立合规路径迈出的重要一步。若 CalRecycle 附条件批准，CAA 须每月提交条件落实情况报告；计划获批后五个日历日内公开全文，并于批准后90天内启动实施。
SB 54 是加州包装生产者责任延伸（EPR）的框架法律，要求生产者为其投放市场的一次性塑料与包装的回收、再利用与堆肥系统出资，把垃圾处理成本从纳税人与地方政府转回生产者。

CalRecycle Receives Revised SB 54 Packaging Producer Responsibility Plan; 75-Day Review Clock Starts
SACRAMENTO — On October 13, the Circular Action Alliance (CAA), the producer responsibility organization for California's packaging law, submitted its revised program plan under SB 54 — the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act — to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The 495-page plan reflects a 60-day public comment period that drew more than 2,400 comments. CalRecycle now has 75 calendar days to approve, disapprove or conditionally approve the plan, request additional information, or set a decision timeline — a window closing in late December. The SB 54 advisory board was set to discuss the revised plan on Friday.
The revision sharply lowers cost projections: the 2027 budget is estimated at $1.105 billion, down from a maximum of about $1.87 billion in the earlier draft, and the five-year budget for 2027–2031 is now put at $7.81 billion to $13.05 billion, down from $9.35 billion to $17.2 billion. Separately, producers must pay $500 million a year into the California Plastic Pollution Mitigation Fund — $5 billion over 10 years — with plastic resin manufacturers able to contribute up to $150 million a year toward that amount.
SB 54 requires covered materials to reach recycling rates of 30% by 2028, 40% by 2030 and 65% by 2032, with the program scheduled to begin January 1, 2027. CAA Chief of Staff Shane Buckingham called the submission a major step forward in establishing a compliance pathway for producers. If CalRecycle grants conditional approval, CAA must file monthly status updates; the approved plan must be posted within five calendar days and implemented within 90 days of approval.
