SB 1013 Glass Market Development Payment Program Instructions & Forms
The passage of SB 1013 (Atkins, Chapter 610) added Public Resources Code Section 14549.7 to develop California markets for glass beverage containers collected for recycling in the state and to allow the Department to, subject to the availability of funds, pay a market development payment to a glass beverage container manufacturer who purchases recycled glass collected within this state for use in manufacturing new beverage containers in this state.
CalRecycle recently announced the publication of the Glass Market Development (GMD) Payment Program instructions and related forms (links located below). The claims are quarterly with the first claim period for July 1, 2023 – September 30, 2023 and due November 10, 2023.
To determine whether an entity is eligible to claim GMD payments, a GMD Determination of Eligibility Form must be completed and submitted to CalRecycle for review and approval. Only eligible entities, as determined upon completion of this form, will be eligible to submit claims for GMD Payments. The review of the GMD Determination of Eligibility Form can take up to 45 days and GMD claims will not be accepted until approval of the GMD Determination of Eligibility Form. Please submit any forms to MarketInformation@calrecycle.ca.gov.
