California Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1158 into law Oct. 14. According to a previous news release on www.CDRecycler.com, the state legislature passed the bill in mid-September 2017.
The bill requires carpet manufacturers to submit a carpet stewardship plan that meets specified requirements from the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). A coalition of local governments, environmental, public health, carpet industry and union organizations supported the legislation.
The bill also creates an advisory committee, appointed by the CalRecycle director, the speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Committee on Rules, that would provide comments and recommendations on carpet stewardship plans and requires manufacturers to incorporate the committee’s recommendations and comments into any updated plans.
