CalRecycle Publishes SB 54 Needs Assessment Studies

CalRecycle has published needs assessment studies required under PRC Section 42067. While this is not the kind of headline most operators see, it is a meaningful program document in California’s SB 54 rollout.

What changed

The studies are now publicly available through CalRecycle’s packaging EPR program materials.

Why it matters

Needs assessment work informs how the program is evaluated, resourced, and understood over time. For teams monitoring California EPR closely, this is part of the document trail that shapes downstream decisions and expectations.
