CHAPTER 2. Fiberglass Recycled Content Program [19510 - 19512]
( Chapter 2 added by Stats. 1991, Ch. 706, Sec. 1. )
Except as provided in Section 19511, every manufacturer shall ensure that the annual tonnage of fiberglass manufactured or sold in the state by that manufacturer on and after January 1, 1992, other than fiberglass in inventory manufactured for sale before January 1, 1992, shall contain at least 10 percent cullet .
(Added by Stats. 1991, Ch. 706, Sec. 1.)
The percentage of fiberglass sold which is made of cullet shall be calculated in tons used on an annual basis. Unless the department determines that an increase in the percentage of cullet would pose an unreasonable technical burden on the fiberglass manufacturer that exceeds the benefits to recycling the cullet, each fiberglass manufacturer shall increase the percentage of cullet in fiberglass in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) On and after January 1, 1994, until December 31, 1994, the percentage of cullet shall be 20 percent.
(b) On and after January 1, 1995, the percentage of cullet shall be 30 percent.
(Added by Stats. 1991, Ch. 706, Sec. 1.)
On or before January 1, 1994, the department shall request comments from at least two fiberglass manufacturers, two cullet processors, and any other interested parties on the feasibility of increasing the percentage of cullet in fiberglass to 30 percent. On or before July 1, 1994, the department shall hold a public hearing, on the record, with representatives from the fiberglass industry, cullet processors, and other interested parties to determine the feasibility of increasing cullet content in fiberglass manufacturing.
