At CAL EPR Group, we provide the specialized technical and data management expertise required to navigate the complexities of California’s SB 54. While the Circular Action Alliance (CAA) acts as the state’s Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) to meet broad industry goals, the legal and operational burden of compliance rests heavily on you, the individual producer.

Our services help you manage these requirements through:

• Granular Data Management: We specialize in the rigorous task of tracking packaging across 95 different material categories. Because there are currently no "de minimis" (minimum threshold) exclusions, we ensure the weight of components like inks, labels, and adhesives is precisely accounted for as required by state guidance.

• Risk Mitigation: We protect your business from significant financial risks, including statutory penalties that can reach up to $50,000 per day for non-compliance.

• Mandatory Planning: our team assists in developing your Individual Source Reduction Plans. We help you maximize "alternative compliance" opportunities, such as using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content to meet up to 8 points of your reduction targets.

• Deadline Readiness: By auditing your supply chain now, we ensure you are prepared for the compressed 30-day registration window once regulations are finalized, as well as the annual May 31st reporting deadlines.

• Strategic Advantage: We turn regulatory uncertainty into a clear plan, ensuring you remain in good standing with state regulators while optimizing your packaging for future requirements.
