Implement California’s Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act Without Delay
Governor Newsom signed SB 54 in 2022 – California’s most far-reaching plastic reduction law – pledging to “hold polluters responsible” and “cut plastics at the source.” But now his office is being targeted by industry lobbyists to delay implementation of the law. SB 54 contains critical measures such as a de facto statewide polystyrene ban and a Plastic Mitigation Fund for addressing plastic pollution in disadvantaged communities.
