Developing an Individual Source Reduction (ISR) Plan under California's SB 54 is more than a compliance exercise - it's a strategic planning process.

‍

As producers work toward California's requirement to reduce covered plastic packaging by 25% from a 2023 baseline by 2032, organizations must evaluate multiple source reduction pathways, prioritize opportunities, document their decision-making, and develop a plan that can withstand regulatory scrutiny as implementation guidance continues to evolve.

‍

In this webinar, PCX Markets explores the practical side of California source reduction compliance, including recent Circular Action Alliance (CAA) guidance, common implementation challenges, and the questions we're hearing most often from producers as they develop their ISR Plans.Rather than focusing solely on what the regulatory requirements are, this session examines how companies are translating those requirements into practical, defensible source reduction strategies.

• How to build a defensible Individual Source Reduction (ISR) Plan under California SB 54
