California Source Reduction Compliance: Developing Your ISR PlanCalifornia's source reduction requirements represent one of the most significant packaging compliance obligations introduced under the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB 54).

‍

The law requires affected producers to reduce covered plastic packaging by 25% from a 2023 baseline by 2032, with interim milestones and compliance obligations along the way, and financial penalties for non-compliance. To support these reductions, producers must develop Individual Source Reduction (ISR) Plans that document how they intend to meet California's packaging reduction requirements.

‍

For many organizations, the challenge is determining how to translate regulatory requirements into practical, achievable packaging reduction strategies.In this on-demand webinar, PCX Markets provides a practical overview of California source reduction compliance, ISR planning, packaging data requirements, and implementation considerations.

Why This Matters

‍

California's source reduction requirements extend beyond reporting and registration obligations. Producers must demonstrate how they intend to reduce covered plastic packaging over time and make progress toward the state's long-term packaging reduction goals.
