    Answer: Recyclable or compostable, with a 65% actual recycling rate achieved

    SB 54 mandates that by 2032, all single-use plastic packaging be recyclable or compostable and that a 65% recycling rate be achieved, shifting costs to producers.

    Answer: A federal permit or funding is involved in a large packaging manufacturing facility

    NEPA applies when federal agency action (e.g., permits, loans, or land use approvals) is required, triggering environmental impact assessments for large industrial facilities.
