Each fiberglass manufacturer shall, on or before March 1 of each year, submit a report to the department certifying the number of tons of cullet used for the manufacture of fiberglass during the preceding calendar year and the number of tons of fiberglass sold in the state during the preceding calendar year.
Chapter 4Certification of Use
Section § 19520
By March 1 each year, fiberglass manufacturers must report to the department how much recycled glass (known as cullet) they used to make fiberglass in the previous year. They also need to report how much fiberglass they sold in California during that year.

Section § 19521
This law states that if a fiberglass manufacturer claims they use a certain amount of recycled glass (called glass cullet) in their production, they might be audited by the department to confirm that they're actually using it.
Every fiberglass manufacturer who submits glass cullet content usage certification pursuant to Section 19520 may be subject to an audit by the department to ensure that the cullet was used.

Section § 19522
If a fiberglass manufacturer can't get enough cullet (recycled glass) during a set time, they need to tell the department why. They must show they tried their best to use cullet and prove it didn't meet necessary quality standards, which prevented them from fulfilling certain requirements.
If a manufacturer of fiberglass is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of cullet within any certification period, the manufacturer shall certify this fact to the department and provide the department with the specific reason for failing to use cullet, including verification of a best faith effort to use the cullet, and evidence that the cullet failed to meet minimum quality specifications pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 19515) and, therefore, presented a significant barrier to meeting the requirements of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 19510).

Section § 19523
This law requires the department to create and keep an updated list of all fiberglass manufacturers. Additionally, the department must share with these manufacturers the names and addresses of certified recyclers and processors who handle cullet, which is waste glass used for recycling.
For the purposes of implementing and enforcing these provisions, the department shall develop and maintain a list which identifies all fiberglass manufacturers. The department shall also make available to fiberglass manufacturers names and addresses of all recyclers and processors of cullet certified pursuant to Division 12.1 (commencing with Section 14500).
