AB 1330: Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
What AB 1330 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to reduce plastic pollution in the state by requiring producers of single-use packaging and plastic food service ware to achieve certain goals. Producers must source reduce all plastic covered material, meaning they must find ways to minimize the amount of plastic used in their products. This goal is intended to help reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment. The bill makes a nonsubstantive change to the existing law, which already established the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
