This webinar introduces the CAA national fee-setting methodology, covering its principles, data inputs, Cost to Manage Index (CTM), calculation flows and how it applies to SB 54 requirements. Key content includes fee-setting data inputs, budget development, allocation of the Plastic Pollution Mitigation Fund (PPMF) and other fee-setting elements.

This webinar describes CAA’s roles and intentions as it relates to engaging environmental justice and underserved or impacted communities, outlines recent steps taken and initial input received from community engagement, and shares upcoming steps in the campaign development process.

This webinar explores two scenarios for compostable packaging and single-use food service ware (FSW) in terms of their eligibility to be labelled as “compostable” and their acceptance at processing facilities. It will cover the current policy landscape, the existing barriers to their use as a viable compliance pathway under SB 54, and the actions CAA proposes to take under each scenario to address those barriers.

This webinar offered a high-level overview of the SB 54 covered cost and payment mechanism process. We walked through the current thinking around how funding applications may be submitted and evaluated, types of potential eligible costs, how payments might be issued and possible approaches to dispute resolution. We also shared preliminary ideas for guidance materials and seek feedback to help shape the process moving forward.
