    Key Takeaways

    • Establishes stricter carpet recycling requirements including 5% recycled content in new carpets by 2028.
    • Requires carpet installers to transport removed carpet to approved recycling collection sites by 2029.
    • Expands approved collection sites to include retailers, recycling centers and municipal facilities.
    • Authorizes administrative penalties up to $25,000 per day for intentional violations of recycling rules.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry's carpet recycling legislation revises California's stewardship programs by expanding collection sites, modifying governance structures, and enhancing reporting requirements. The bill adds carpet recycling centers, municipal facilities, and retailers as approved collection sites while exempting products from transport requirements when returned directly to producers under specified conditions.

    The legislation restructures oversight by requiring producer responsibility organizations to establish governing boards with one voting member representing industry and five nonvoting members from environmental, retail, labor, collection, and recycling sectors. Organizations must fund travel costs for nonvoting members to attend all board meetings. The bill also shifts enforcement from civil to administrative penalties, maintaining fines of $10,000 per day for violations and $25,000 per day for intentional infractions.

    Beginning in 2027, producers must mark carpets with standardized information including manufacturer name, production date, and material composition. The bill sets a 5% postconsumer recycled content requirement for carpets by 2028, with authority for the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to adjust future targets. Annual reports from producer organizations, due September 1, must detail collection metrics, site operations, education efforts, and grant distributions while protecting confidential business information.
