Hazardous materials: perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.The hazardous waste control laws require the Department of Toxic Substances Control to regulate the handling and management of hazardous materials and hazardous waste. Existing law, known as the Green Chemistry program, requires the department to adopt regulations to establish a process to identify and prioritize chemicals or chemical ingredients in consumer products that may be considered as being chemicals of concern, and to adopt regulations that establish a process for evaluating chemicals of concern in consumer products, and their potential alternatives, to determine how best to limit exposure or to reduce the level of hazard posed by a chemical of concern, as specified. Existing law requires the regulations adopted to specify the range of regulatory responses that the department may take following the completion of the alternatives analysis. Under its regulatory authority, the department has adopted the 201517 Priority Product Work Plan, which describes categories from which the department will select priority products for which safer alternatives are to be evaluated. The bill would require the department to revise the 201517 include in the 201820 Priority Product Work Plan, and subsequent work plans, as necessary, to include food contact substances packaging containing perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances for consideration and evaluation as potential priority products under the Green Chemistry program. substances.
