California SB633 mandates minimum recycled plastic content in plastic beverage containers.

California SB633 requires beverage manufacturers to report annually on the amount of virgin and recycled plastic used in their containers. It mandates that, by 2025, plastic beverage containers must contain at least 25% postconsumer recycled plastic, increasing to 50% by 2030. Manufacturers failing to meet these standards face administrative penalties, which can be reduced if they submit a corrective action plan. The bill also establishes the Recycling Enhancement Penalty Account to fund recycling initiatives.
