Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to the Public Resources Code that creates a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) to develop a plan for collecting and recycling covered lubricant products and their packaging. Producers must register with the PRO, have their plan approved by CalRecycle (with DTSC review of safety aspects), and pay the costs. The goal is to shift waste‑management costs from taxpayers to the product makers and improve recycling rates.
