Good afternoon,
Following our notice sent on December 22, 2025, we are sharing a correction to the Aerosols Lab Pack Factors (LPFs) for 2026. During a subsequent data review, we identified a minor discrepancy in the way the aerosol components had been aggregated. This has now been corrected and will apply to all 2026 Aerosols reported under the Product Care program. The Pesticides and Miscellaneous Organics LPFs previously shared remain unchanged.
The Aerosol LPF that applies to Product Care programs is now 45.44%, which is an increase from the previous LPF shared. The 2026 LPFs, including the updated Aerosol breakdown, are provided below.
| Lab Pack Type | 2026 Municipal Share | 2026 Product Care Share (revised) | Status from Dec 22, 2025 notice |
| Pesticides | 93.88% | 6.12% | Unchanged |
| Miscellaneous Organics | 95.76% | 4.24% | Unchanged |
| Aerosols Total | 54.56% | 45.44% | Updated |
| Aerosol Pesticides | 0.04% | Updated | |
| Aerosol Paints & Coatings | 38.99% | Updated | |

The 2026 LPFs will apply to all claims for applicable commingled materials collected at depots and events with a pick-up date starting January 1, 2026 and going forward.
We appreciate your partnership and are pleased to share this updated information with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
