ISSeP has been controlling for ten years the gaseous and liquid emissions of main
landfills in Wallonia. The monitoring of landfill surface gas-emissions is usually performed with
portable FID analysers. Such devices offer high sensitiveness but measuring ranges are
sometimes too short for high methane concentration. It is why another portable device, based on
IR-analyzer technology (ECOPROBE), has been tested and compared to FID in several case
studies. Synthetic air/methane gas mixture has been used to verify the exactness of both portable
analysers. In a second time, the linearity of IR-device has been verified in its large measuring
range from high-rated LFGes. Finally, performances of FID and IR technologies have been
compared on on-field sampled surface landfill gas (LFG). The tests show good proportionality
and low detection limit of FID devices, but with low exactness and low upper saturation limit.
The IR device shows good exactness and linearity on a wide measuring range, but his minimum
detection value is higher than FID systems. This gap increases when analysing complex highrated
gas mixture as LFG. Despite this limitation, IR probe produces other simultaneous
measurements such as carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations. These data are complementary
to methane values and useful for landfill surface emissions monitoring.

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...
