Members-Only Opportunity: Sign On to Protect the Integrity of SB 54

Exclusively for NSAC and SAF Members

Members of the National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC) and Stewardship Action Foundation (SAF) are invited to sign onto a coalition letter urging Governor Newsom and his administration to fully and faithfully implement SB 54—the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act. 

A Law with Economic Impact

SB 54 is not only a landmark environmental policy—it’s also a powerful economic driver. Proper implementation will: 

• Unlock new investment in domestic recycling and reuse infrastructure 

• Create thousands of good-paying jobs in collection, processing, and remanufacturing 

• Support innovation in sustainable packaging design 

• Reduce costly waste management burdens on local governments, taxpayers and ratepayers 

  
  

These benefits are only possible if the law is implemented as intended, without carve-outs or delays that compromise its goals. 

Your Voice Matters

This coalition letter urges the Newsom Administration to uphold the original vision of SB 54 by ensuring strong, transparent, and accountable implementation. It calls for closing—not creating—loopholes and highlights what’s at stake for California’s economy, environment, and public health.
