The State of California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is seeking proposals to conduct a comprehensive market analysis and provide support services related to one-pound and other covered propane cylinders. The purpose of this RFP is to better understand the lifecycle, distribution, recycling, and environmental impacts of small propane cylinders, as well as identify opportunities to improve sustainability and regulatory compliance. The selected contractor will be responsible for analyzing current market conditions, evaluating existing collection and recycling infrastructure, and recommending strategies to enhance recovery and reuse efforts. Additionally, the contractor may support policy development, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven decision-making to inform statewide initiatives. This effort aligns with California’s broader environmental goals, including waste reduction, resource recovery, and climate impact mitigation. The resulting analysis and recommendations will help CalRecycle implement effective programs and policies for propane cylinder management.
