Bill Information

Presenter:
Sal N. DiDomenico
Status:
Referred to Senate Committee on Ways and Means
This is a product stewardship bill which would make manufacturers responsible for the post-consumer management of their packaging waste. The proposal requires manufacturers to finance the infrastructure needed to recycle their packaging materials. This bill will increase our recycling rate, as recycling guidelines will become more straightforward, and recycling costs will be eliminated for all residents and subsidized for municipalities.
