The findings of on-going research conducted within South Africa on waste policy
instruments shows that while typical command-and-control instruments lack effective
monitoring and enforcement, alternative policy instruments such as economic or information
based strategies, are either slow to find favour or fail soon after implementation. Developing
countries, such as South Africa, face a number of challenges to the successful implementation of
alternative, first world, waste policy instruments including institutional challenges (financial and
human resources); insufficient political support; an unsupportive legal environment; lack of
clarity regarding the role of government and the intention of policy, leading to a lack of
ownership and to ineffective policy; and a lack of supporting data. However, these challenges
do not imply that there is no place for such instruments in developing countries. Instead, what is
needed in the implementation of waste policy instruments in developing countries is a stagebased,
tailored approach, which takes cognisance of identified challenges in their design and
implementation, thereby recognising the realities of developing country circumstances.

California SB 54 Is Here: What Companies Using Plastic Packaging Need To Do Now | JD Supra
SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, was signed into law on June 30, 2022. Its goal is to create a framework that shifts waste management costs from the local government onto producers. To that end, SB 54 requires producers to (1) reduce the use of Covered Materials; and (2) ensure that all Covered Materials are recyclable or compostable by 2032. The definition of a producer is not 100% straightforward. You are considered a producer if you are the person who manufactures a product that uses covered material and who owns or is the licensee of the brand or trademark under which the product is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [1] However, if no such person is located in California, the producer of the covered material is the owner or, if the owner is not in the state, the exclusive licensee of a brand or trademark under which the product using the covered material is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [2] But if there is no such person in California either, the producer is the person who sells, offers for sale, or distributes the product that uses the covered material in or into the state. [3] To the extent you are a producer, the final regulations implementing SB 54 which went into effect May 1, 2026 have set near-term milestones with which you must comply. First, by June 1, 2026, all producers (subject to very limited exceptions) must either (1) participate in an approved Producer Responsibility Organization ( PRO ), or (2) decide to comply individually and register with CalRecycle. Depending on which path a producer decides to follow, it will also be subject to subsequent deadlines. Producers who plan to participate in an approved PRO must have a producer responsibility plan in place by June 15, 2026. If you choose to comply individually and register with CalRecycle, they must approve you, and once...
