On May 9, 2026, the California Environmental Protection Agency further clarified that the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB54/EPR Bill) had officially come into effect on May 1. This bill sets clear targets: a 25% reduction in packaging waste and a 65% recycling rate for single-use plastic packaging and utensils. It requires brand owners to bear the costs of recycling and processing packaging waste, optimize packaging design, and establish a comprehensive recycling system. The bill has had a significant impact on the packaging industries, including soft packaging and film.
